Psychotherapy
plays an important part in the treatment of a depressed teenager. For those
parents who may think that being in a slump is something that their teen can
just shrug off, here is where you may be mistaken. The despair and prevailing
sadness that a teenager may experience from depression is a serious matter. If
a parent were to simply wait for his or her teen to shrug it off, that parent
could be waiting for nothing.
The important
issue to remember here is that when a teen is suffering from depression this
may not be the only problem he or she is faced with. In fact, a crucial problem
that any depressed person may face is suicidal tendency. This is precisely why active help and steps in
treatment of the disorder are vital.
Getting to the
root of a teen’s depression
When a
depressed teen is undergoing psychotherapy, the issues which lie behind his or
her disorder are being addressed. A psychotherapist may want to talk with him
or her about his or her feelings in different situations.
By getting to the root of a teen’s depression the likelihood of it resulting in suicide is greatly reduced, if not eliminated. It is vital for a depressed teen to be in psychotherapy because it gives him or her a chance to air out the negative feelings he or she may be keeping inside. This gives the therapist a chance to correct any misconceptions that the patient may have about him or herself, or life in general..

Talk therapy
Talk. Talk
itself can be a very therapeutic activity. By having your troubled teen speak
with a psychotherapist you are also engaging him/her in an activity where you
are sure that he/she will not be isolating him/herself. When dealing with a
disorder such as depression, any activity that can keep the patient from
isolation or loneliness can be helpful.
Taking that
first step to recovery
At first it may
be scary for you and your teen to seek professional help, but it is an
empowering step to take.
