Is sadness and depression a symptom of puberty?

No: Neither of those are a "symptom" of depression. Adolescence can be a difficult time of adjustment leading to sadness or depression. If you are concerned, you should talk to someone.

Get it checked out: Hello. Teen angst refers to the emotional turmoil that may be felt during adolescence. However, if your mood is predominantly sad, anxious or angry - it could be something more. This would warrant letting your parents know or speaking with your school counselor or your doctor. Take care.
