      The most important thing for teenagers with depression is that they get the appropriate help. This will be very similar to the treatments an adult with depression would receive. They should see their GP or self-refer to a mental health service. Just like an adult, treatment for adolescent depression may include some form of therapy such as CBT, medication, or a combination of the two.
