Publisher's Synopsis
PREVIEW
Depression is one of the most common types of mental health conditions and often develops alongside anxiety.
Depression can be mild and short-lived or severe and long-lasting. Some people are affected by depression only once, while others may experience it multiple times.
Depression can lead to suicide, but this is preventable when appropriate support is provided. It's important to know that much can be done to help young people who are thinking about suicide.
Depression can happen as a reaction to something like abuse, violence in school, and the death of someone close or family problems like domestic violence or family breakdown. Someone might get depressed after being stressed for a long time. It can also run in the family. Sometimes we may not know why it happens.
