RESEARCH

PREVALENCE 
  • ​ Adolescents are regularly exposed to interpersonal stressors
 
  • Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among adolescents 13-18
 
  • ​Offspring of parents who have depression face three to four times increased rates of depression compared with offspring of healthy parents.
 
  • Rate exceeds 4% in one year from the incidence notably in girls rises after puberty and by the end of adolescence.
 
  • The uni-polar depressive disorder is highest in low-income and middle-income countries
 
  • An estimated 31.9% of adolescents had any anxiety disorder.
 
  • The prevalence of any anxiety disorder among adolescents was higher for females (38.0%) than for males (26.1%).
​
  • Anxiety disorders affect 25.1% of children between 13 and 18 years old. 


EFFECT:
​
  • ​75% of individuals experiencing depression during adolescence will make suicide attempt in adulthood.
 
  • For younger children, anxiety and depression might occur as school refusal, anxiety from separated parents.
    
  • Depression levels associated with increased likelihood of lifetime use of cigarettes, other forms of tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, inhalants, prescription painkillers, and any substance.
   
  •  Depression can also be missed if the primary presenting problems are unexplained physical symptoms, eating disorders, anxiety, refusal to attend school, decline in academic performance, substance misuse, or behavioral problems.
 
  • Chronic, severe stressors that affect relationships seem most important. Negative family relationships, peer victimization through bullying, and maltreatment are common risks for depression. 
 
  • Teens who start using marijuana before age 15 are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in early adulthood.
 
  • Teens aged 12 to 17 who abuse prescription drugs (including opiates, stimulants, tranquilizers, and sedatives) are more likely to have experienced depression.
​
  • Research shows that untreated children with anxiety disorders are at higher risk to perform poorly in school, miss out on important social experiences, and engage in substance abuse.
​
  • Childhood anxiety predicts later:
  1. Panic attacks
  2. Depression
  3. Separation anxiety disorder
  4. Conduct disorder
  5. Social phobia
  6. Suicidality
