Depression is a mood disorder that affects an adolescent's body, mood and thoughts. It can affect and disrupt eating, sleeping or thinking patterns, and is not the same as being unhappy or in a "blue" mood, nor is it a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away.
Teens and young adults face unique health concerns. At Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital, we offer comprehensive care for your child’s specific needs.
