Depression affects us all and that can be quite a scary fact because some of us have no idea that we are affected by depression in the first place. The thing is, it is much more common within adolescence and teenagers because they are at the stage when the body goes through a whole host of changes emotionally and physically, and they are not mentally developed nor grounded to fully understand the changes within them. But since change is normal, depression is then normal for most teenagers but there is some cases where the changes is so extreme; that they are unable to cope with these drastic changes and thus become depressed.

Depression is a condition where the person is affected by a traumatic experience or series of experiences and sinks into an emotional place where they are sad and they will display a series of recognisable behaviours. In the realm of psychology and medical practice, the term depression can be related to a sort of disease or even a syndrome that afflicts the human mind. It is considered one of the more common mental disorders, which can be classified under the group of emotions such as depressed, sad, hopeless and helpless feelings within the person.
