| My topic of interest will be focus on the adolescent depression and how to identify risk factors to prevent suicide. Adolescent depression is on the rise. Recent surveys indicate that as many as one in five teens suffers from clinical depression. This alarming high rate of depression and suicide for adolescents worldwide is a big concern and it is important to know how to detect it. Depression can be difficult to diagnose in adolescents because adults may expect them to act moody. Also, adolescents do not always understand or express their feelings very well. They may not be aware of the symptoms of depression and may not seek help. This proposal addresses an opportunity to improve providers’ skills to properly identify potential risk factors and effective treatment tools we can use to better the life of the depressed adolescent. I chose this topic of interest because mental health is one of the areas if feel many people struggle with and they have a stigma against mental health. As a practitioner want to treat not only the medical condition of my patients but the mental health side as well. |
