Most Common Causes of Depression in Teen

What are Most Common Causes of Depression in Teen?

With the fast pace of life picking up in the advanced nations of the world, every second person in the world is becoming prone to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness or insomnia. One of the important, but may be not the only reason for an increase in psychological and neurotic disorders is the excessive indulgence in the materialistic world, which of course, we can’t stop ourselves from.

This gives rise to certain disorders like anxiety, depression and other similar ailments. No doubt, medication should be the last resort. Other alternative healing methods like the oriental healing therapies of yoga, meditation, reiki e.t.c. can also be made as one of the options. But when you run short of patience, due to the above methods being time consuming , you can always switch over to such medicines which act as ‘calmer’ or ‘relaxant’ like XANAX which is an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug.

Anxiety is the result of our own faulty life style because of which we depend on medicines like xanax. So if we want to get rid of this nervous disorder then first of all we have to get rid of our sedentary life style and should not become over-indulgent in today’s materialistic life. Moreover, even if we are taking medicines like xanax we should see that we take these kind of anti-anxiety medicines only upto the point of treating ourselves and should not become overly dependent on these drugs.

Apart from our lifestyle and psychological reasons there are some medical or biochemical reasons as well for a person suffering from anxiety and depression. One ‘medical’ cause of depression often given is the overproduction of stress hormones.

The hormonal imbalances related to depression are to do with our natural reactions to stress, and stress and depression are certainly linked. But does this hormonal imbalance actually cause depression?

It is true that depressed people often have increased levels of stress hormones in their bloodstream, but again, this is a symptom, not a cause.

When you reflect upon some particular issue again and again, or introspect in a negative way, you create emotional arousal that causes the release of stress hormones. That night, in REM (dream sleep), you become emotionally aroused again as dreaming ‘flushes out’ the emotional arousal from your brain. That is why depressed people have higher levels of stress hormones, and also why you can wake up feeling exhausted.

People who are pessimistic, have low self-esteem, worry excessively, or feel they have little control over life events are more likely to develop clinical depression. Even events such as the death of a loved one, divorce, financial strains, history of trauma, moving to a new location or significant loss can contribute to the onset of clinical depression. Some medications also can actually cause clinical depression. Therefore, it is important that people inform their doctors of all medications they are taking and report any depressive symptoms. Often it has been seen that people who drink heavily on regular basis also get buried into clinical depression.

Reasons

Thus, there is no single reason for the growth of depression and anxiety in the people. A whole lot of factors right from physiological, mental, our social lifestyle and even the bio-chemical factors together form a unique package for a depressed person.
