I have depression or just being a teenager, how can i tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with PCP: A variety of screening tools are available to your pcp that can help separate those with mild sad thoughts ; those with treatable depression. Call your pcp ; set up a time to be evaluated. We often feel poorly when we are sick ; may not even realize something is wrong. If no medical issue is present s/he can arrange for further work on the depression.
