How Depression Strikes Teenage Girls Today Harder than Ever Before

An article from NPR, posted on February 13, 2017, sites a study that found that the use of social media may be partially to blame for higher rates of depression in teenage girls than in teenage boys. Steps toward remission include taking brain breaks away from screens, practicing mindfulness and simply scheduling a single appointment with a counselor or therapist. Read the article to learn more. You may decide to schedule an appointment with one of our psychiatrists for your teenager who may be depressed, struggling with feelings of anxiousness, sadness, or may be feeling overwhelmed with life. If you or a love one is a long-time sufferer of depression and is resistant to medication, TMS therapy could be the right treatment.
