Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

I was wondering how much people trust (or if they see) their doctor to either talk about or be prescribed things for depression, etc.. How effective have your treatment plans been or are they yet to begin? And who just thinks it's pointless to see psychiatrists/psychologists, after all we're not getting much better.

i've talked to a psycho doctor before. at first i was like "whatever, you just say something, they reply how's that make you feel, and then give you suggestions." instead they ended up telling my mom, in which i didn't want her to know. so you can't really trust them, unless you have them sign a contract saying they won't tell anyone. as for meds, i took them but it wasn't me. i quit and started looking for happiness myself, and found it. if the meds don't work, search for the happiness hiding in your soul.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
