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.

the 5th article (Stress and Depression Are Real)
Stress and Depression Are Real
Stress and depression are serious problems for many teenagers, as the 1986
study of Minnesota high school students reveals. Although 61 percent of the
students are not depressed and seem to handle their problems in constructive
ways, 39 percent suffer from mild to severe depression. These young people
often rely on passive or negative behaviors in their attempts to deal with
problems.
Stress is characterized by feelings of tension, frustration, worry, sadness
and withdrawal that commonly last from a few hours to a few days. Depression is
both more severe and longer lasting. Depression is characterized by more
extreme feelings of hopelessness, sadness, isolation, worry, withdrawal and
worthlessness that last for two weeks or more. The finding that 9 percent of
high school students are severely depressed is important since depression is
the most important risk factor for suicide. The Minnesota Study found that 88
percent of the youth who reported making suicide attempts were depressed.
Approximately 6 percent of the students reported suicide attempts in the
previous six months.

the 4th article (what is problem solving?)
What is problem solving?
Problem-solving
is a mental process that involves discovering, analyzing and solving problems.
The ultimate goal of problem-solving is to overcome obstacles and find a
solution that best resolves the issue.
The best
strategy for solving a problem depends largely on the unique situation. In some
cases, people are better off learning everything they can about the issue and
then using factual knowledge to come up with a solution. In other instances,
creativity and insight are the best options.
The Steps in
Problem-Solving
In order to
correctly solve a problem, it is important to follow a series of steps. Many
researchers refer to this as the problem-solving
cycle, which includes developing strategies and organizing knowledge.
While this cycle is portrayed sequentially, people rarely follow a rigid series
of steps to find a solution. Instead, we often skip steps or even go back
through steps multiple times until the desired solution is reached.
1. Identifying the Problem: While it may seem like an obvious step, identifying
the problem is not always as simple as it sounds. In some cases, people might
mistakenly identify the wrong source of a problem, which will make attempts to
solve it inefficient or even useless.
2. Defining the Problem: After the problem has been identified, it is
important to fully define the problem so that it can be solved.
3. Forming a Strategy: The next step is to develop a strategy to solve the problem. The approach
used will vary depending upon the situation and the individual's unique
preferences.
4. Organizing Information: Before coming up with a solution, we need to first
organize the available information. What do we know about the problem? What do
we not know? The more information that is available, the better prepared
we will be to come up with an accurate solution.
5. Allocating Resources: Of course, we don't always have unlimited money, time
and other resources to solve a problem. Before you begin to solve a problem,
you need to determine how high priority it is. If it is an important problem,
it is probably worth allocating more resources to solving it.
6. Monitoring Progress: Effective problem-solvers tend to monitor their progress as they work
towards a solution. If they are not making good progress toward reaching their
goal, they will reevaluate their approach or look for new strategies.
7. Evaluating the Results: After a solution has been reached, it is important to
evaluate the results to determine if it is the best possible solution to the problem.
