According to a recent CDC report, 6 in 10 high school girls have experienced “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” — making teen girls twice as likely as boys to suffer from depression. And studies show that antidepressant prescriptions for adolescent girls increased by 129.6% between 2020 and 2022.
The statistics are disturbing, but in this webinar, we’d like to focus on actionable information about the possible causes of depression in teen girls, how to identify it, and how you can offer support.
