Adolescent depression can affect the entire family causing stress, confusion, and hopelessness. Teenagers can often turn to drastic measures to relieve their depression by using unhealthy coping tools such as: self medication of negative symptoms through drugs and alcohol, self injurious behaviors such as cutting or excessive forms of physical pain and self mutilation, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts or self destructive tendencies, and other ways of acting out. We know how scary and difficult this can be for adolescents and their families.
At the Bay Area Center for Adolescents, we work with depressed adolescents and their families and the many ways it can manifest (e.g., drug and alcohol use, cutting, suicidality, oppositional behavior, withdrawal, anger, eating disorder). Our adolescent specialists know how to connect with adolescents and use effective treatments to help them overcome depression. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Attachment Based Family Therapy to treat adolescent depression, which are both effective, evidence-based treatments.
