Parenting My Teen - Show #31

Do you know the difference between a crabby teen and one who might be depressed? Sometimes the symptoms are very much alike, such as changes in appetite or sleeping patterns, but sometimes teens also exhibit signs of anxiety, frustration, or anger when they are depressed.

Aurelia’s guest this week is social worker Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW, who helps us understand the difference between a teen being “a little blue” and being depressed. He discusses many other signs of depression that parents should watch for and also ways to treat teen depression.
