Why is Teenage Depression Increasing ?
There are many explanations why teenage depression is increasing every year. Although some researchers claim biological, genetic, environmental, or psychological factors are primary causes, others feel that the basic causes are rooted in societal changes. More specifically, they argue that society is not providing the basic needs of young people. Such needs include companionship, goals for life, goals for health, responsibility, and meaningful relationships. In addition, they argue that society has taught young people that there is great importance attached to what you have and how you look, rather than what you do, achieve or contribute.
