Given the likelihood of cuts to mental health services Navigating Teenage Depression is a timely reminder of the importance of recognising and treating depression in teenagers, be that mild depression or emerging bipolar disorder.
The authors both work at the Black Dog Institute in Australia, which specialises in mood disorders, and give a useful overview of some of the causes of teenage depression and what it feels like to be a teenager with depression. They take the reader through the assessment and treatment process, finishing with tips on maintaining good mental health.
The book contains many powerful testimonies from young people that vividly portray the devastating impact of depression as well as offering hope that recovery is possible.
