Depends: The causes of adolescent depression vary greatly. The depression may be due to abuse either physical or emotional, genetics, frustration etc. The impact of this depression depends on whether the adolescent is able to work out what is going on and develop good coping skills or not. Please seek the help of a therapist if you are having psychological difficulties at any age. Life can be easier.
