DEPRESSION: Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist who works with Adolescents to get help for your child. First have a physical exam to rule out a physical problem. Research indicates with psychotherapy one can change & find better coping mechanisms. If there is a biological reason for the depression a Psychiatrist can help with medication.
