depression

[R]

[velocity]

hormones.

[Nixt]

Mild depression is a common feeling in teenagers, due to hormones and things. If you feel really, really depressed / suicidal it might be worth going to see a doctor though :).

[Tristan]

I think it is.
I went through that phase and actually wanted to go suicidal on a minor scale and I'm no emo...

[Meticulous]

I think.
Also sort of depends on what's going on around you and what's happened in your past or what's going to happen in your future.
If your life is completely stressless and there is nothing for you to be depressed about even in the slightest, Then I'm not sure why you're depressed ;D
But everyone gets down sometimes. And when you go into the teen stage it seems to get worse, I've noticed. ;D

[T0M]

Being upset isn't the same as depression.. it really annoys me when people (teenagers especially) think "hey I'm unhappy, I'll say to people I'm depressed", because then people who really do suffer from clinical depression might not get the attention and help that they really need.

I went on tablets to get rid of a cyst i had which one of the side effects that i could of occured was depression, and i got bullied by basically everyone who isnt in our school for it. Yeah, wasn't nice seeing as a i had a big lump on my face, well i wasn't depressed, i was just upset about it. Then after i went off the tablets, thats when i was depressed, idk really it just clicked something inside of me, i cut to make me feel better. It didn't hurt, just released some pain that was stored inside of me. I'm over depression now, whilst i still get upset, im not doing anything bad again because i know everyone in my school, and close family are there to support me xoxox

i think depression is an extreme way to put it. if your feeling low at random times and not constantly this definately sounds horomonal related rather than depressed.

Being diagnosed with depression which means having to take pills & your teenage hormones being all over the place are two very different things...

True but most teenagers do get depression at some point due to hormones

No they don't, they get upset. Depression is a clinical expression for an actual mental disorder, not just a state of mind.

[Herman]

in other words, they get mood swings, when their emotions just change suddenly for no apparent reason. don't worry, i'm going through the same too, it's annoying but it will go away soon, i hope.

If you were depressed you wouldn't feel happy AT ALL. You wouldn't be on here, because you'd be too upset to do ANYTHING. It's people like you who make it difficult for people will real depression to get help.

[Shawnstra]

Yep they do, I am also feeling depressed these days.

[flamboyant]

As FJ said, you're barely depressed if you're able to come on here, you get to a stage in depression where you can't even eat, you just lay around. You'd know if you were depressed, you're probably just stressed or angry because Sunday is the day before school, both "disorders" have numerous differences.
