The negative effects of teenage depression go far beyond a melancholy mood. Many rebellious and unhealthy behaviors or attitudes in teenagers are actually indications of depression. The following are some the ways in which teens "act out" or "act in" in an attempt to cope with their emotional pain.
-Problems at school
-Running away
-Drug and Alcohol abuse
-Low self-esteem
-Internet addiction
-Reckless behavior
-Violence
Teen depression is also associated with a number of other mental health problems, including eating disorders and self injury.
