How do I know if I am depressed?

There are lots of different indicators of depression, but they’re hard to identify.  I know you’re human, but I have no idea how you feel, so I can’t say for sure.

I think it is a big thing to look out for in teens.

I agree.  One question you might ask yourself is, “Am I having thoughts that are bad for me?”  Depression is often accompanied by very negative and suicidal thoughts.  And by thoughts that you need to take some action to “solve” your problems.  Or thoughts that people would be better off without you.  If you think you may be having thoughts like this, please tell an adult you trust right away.
