Text/Audio Narration: All three words represent different recognition steps teachers need to utilize. The first, and main, step is identifying a student with depression. She may have a change in mood, weight gain or loss, change in grades, or change in friends or lack of social ability. The second component for the teacher will be to notify the school counselor so an assessment can be made and decide if there needs to be parental involvement. The final component is for the teacher to adapt their teaching strategies in order to engage the student in learning.

“Less than 33 percent of teens with depression get help, yet 80 percent of teens with depression can be successfully treated if they seek help from a doctor or therapist, and many local health clinics offer free or discounted treatment for teens with depression,” (Teen Depression, 2011).

“About 20 percent of teens will experience teen depression before they reach adulthood,” (Teen Depression, 2011).

Teen depression, if left untreated, may possibly lead to alienation, substance abuse, physical harm, and/or suicide.

Notes: It is imperative to treat teenage depression. Teachers need to be sensitive to the treatment process for students suffering from this disease and need to adapt the learning environment. Teachers, students, counselors need to work in partnership for the duration of the treatment process.
