Have a screening : Many primary care providers have enough experience to identify the issue or will screen for depression using standardized questionnaires. Such a screening is a starting point so additional study or treatment can be started.

Child psychology: Depression in teens can look a bit different than that in adults and some checklists and screens are really not very sensitive - probably why studies have shown large incidence of failure to diagnose depression in primary care settings. This is complicated by the fact teens may not open up. More on teen dperession: http://cpancf.Com/articles_files/identifyingchildhoodadolescentdepression.Asp.
