About this site School Calendar June 2004 Su M Tu W Th F Sa Warrior News Online Depression Screening Yields High Turn Out By Jaimie Weisenborne posted: 12/10/03 The second annual depression screening was held during the week of October 27 in the Guidance Department. The screening tested students whose parents had signed a permission slip that was sent to them in the mail. Students were screened by volunteer therapists from Montgomery General Hospital. The screening, which initially was scheduled for only Monday, October 27, spanned three days. This was due to the unexpected amount of students who turned in the parent permission form allowing them to be tested. This year 184 students were tested, a major increase from last year when only 20 students signed up for the screening. "The community is more aware [of depression] because of Alex Keen's death," says resource counselor Judy Hopp. Another factor which led to the increase in the students was that this year a letter with an attached permission form was sent to every parent. Last year, news that the screening was available was only broadcasted on the morning announcements.

When asked to rank their concerns from a range of issues confronting young people, ‘depression and suicide’ was ranked most frequently in the top three, by 52.6% of respondents. Other pressing issues were ‘family issues’, ‘alcohol and other drugs’ and ‘abuse/sexual assault’, with each ranked in the top three by approximately 39% of respondents. More than 2500 young Australians, the majority aged 12-17, completed the survey, which was conducted on-line on Mission Australia’s website, through Dolly magazine and in high schools and TAFE colleges around the country. Other key survey results include: 59.1% of females ranked ‘depression/suicide’ as a top three concern, compared with only 42.2% of males – a dramatic difference. For young males, ‘family issues’ was the most common concern, being listed in the top three by 45.1% of respondents.

menu Teen Depression Dr. Carol Glod Is alcohol and drug abuse a symptom of underlying depression? Undiagnosed and untreated depression often leads to alcohol and substance abuse and dependence. On average, in teens that develop drug and alcohol problems, the depression precedes the drug and alcohol problems by about five years. Teens may turn to drugs and alcohol in an attempt to self-medicate. They may feel so bad that they want to get high or get drunk to feel numb. So, it is critical to intervene early. Also, at least 70% of teenagers who have depression will have a recurrence within five years, or at some point in adulthood. Teen depression predicts depression in adulthood. So even if somebody goes through a period of depression, and they get better, it is likely to recur. How does a parent determine the difference between typical teen rebellious behavior and depression? Parents typically think that adolescence is a stormy time, with hormonal shifts, so a lot of what gets attributed to normal adolescence can be depression. If you suspect that a teen might have a problem with depression, you need to get a professional evaluation. A teenager may look fine on the outside, but have a lot going on inside. It can be hard for parents to tell. Keep in mind that depression isn't one symptom, it is a group of symptoms, you need to see at least a few signs of depression. Again, if a teen talks of death or suicide, the person needs immediate professional help.

And the constant ups and downs of the teenage years are particularly difficult. But teenage depression is more than a day or two of the "blues." It is a continuing, over-whelming feeling of sadness and helplessness that interferes with a teenager's ability to carry on normally. Instead of talking on the phone or getting together with friends, teens with depression may withdraw from activity, refusing to go out of the house. Or they may try to numb those feelings with drugs or alcohol. Teenage depression is extremely painful and debilitating, and because it often is accompanied by thoughts of suicide, it can also be fatal. Surprisingly common, teenage depression is one of the most prevalent emotional disturbances among high school students, and is more prevalent among girls than boys. Approximately 3 to 5 percent of teenagers develop depression each year. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A TEENAGER HAS DEPRESSION?

Parents and Family "Mom Denies My Depression?" I can't concentrate on any thing and I'm depressed. I hide my depression because I was taught that it is bad to show your feelings. my mom does not want to believe that I have a problem. female, 14 yrs USA Answers ~ Hi A (: Do you have a best friend that you can confide to? Depression is best dealt with when you have someone to listen to you and just be there for you. Do you have a school counselor? Maybe you can have a heart to heart talk with your mom about your problems. Pull her aside, and seriously tell her "Mom, I think I've some problems, can you help me out?" Or maybe you can try opening up to your dad. (: Whatever you do, hiding your problems won't make them go away. I hope that helps. (: Lorraine A... I grew up in a home where showing feelings was kind of hard to do. So I understand that it's hard sometimes after years in a home like that to show emotions and feel okay about it. But depression is something you shouldn't hold inside. It drags a person down and becomes exhausting to deal with. I know first hand, so I got myself to a therapist last fall in college. It was a hard thing because at first I was scared and didn't know if I was making the right decision. But overtime, getting the feelings out helped a lot! I started to feel like I had more energy and more to be happy about. Its sad but parents often are too scared to listen or believe their child has a problem or needs help. So how did I get to a therapist thru the years and not even just in college? I went to a school provided therapist. They usually have a few people to choose from to just talk to and get feelings out that you need too. and I think that will help. You need to learn all over again that it's ok! ay to show feelings and be hones t about your happiness.

We all have times when we feel sad or stressed. There are times when day to day problems get us down. However these feelings are usually short-lived. This is not depression! When doctors use the term "depression" they are talking about an ongoing serious situation in which a person feels down most of the time for a long period, weeks or months, and sometimes years. When this happens it makes it difficult to keep up with everyday things. Work, school and social life can all be affected. Depression has an impact on appetite, sleep and the ability to concentrate and think clearly. Depression is also called "depressive illness", "major depressive disorder", "dysthymia' or "clinical depression".

Counseling and Guidance Division - Personality Characteristics Article National Association for Gifted Children COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE DIVISION Affective Issues and the Gifted Series Recent Research on . . . Personality Characteristics of the Gifted Conclusions 1. Gifted and talented students actively engaged in challenging programmatic options appear to be reasonably well-adjusted in terms of self-concept and social competence. The influence of a program upon this adjustment is not clear, nor can one ensure that program identification procedures contribute to adjustment. (Are only those who “behave” nominated for such programs?) 2. There are qualitative differences in motivational levels and in social and emotional issues related to school performance among the culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged populations of gifted students. The striving for racial identity may help to explain these differences among the culturally diverse, and the lack of access to choice of programs and materials may explain differences among the economically disadvantaged. 3. Early childhood learning experiences and respectful/authoritative parenting strategies contribute greatly to healthy personality development among gifted individuals.

Series on depression resonates It isn't easy to look over the edge at suicide, but many have because of depression. By JIM TOLER The Free Lance-Star Date published: SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION have touched more lives than I ever imagined. That fact is clear from reader response to the three-part series published earlier this week. The phone calls, e-mail messages and online chats on fredericksburg .com have been surprisingly positive, and definitely heart-wrenching when people open up about their situations and those of people close to them. Among those who called was a man who attempted to kill himself years ago. "I want to thank you for the articles you've been running on suicides," he said. "I understand the pain these folks go through. I got help for it and things are OK now." The responses also show that dealing with depression before it gets to the point of suicide is on the minds of many. The prevalence of personal experience with those subjects began to emerge this spring as a group of Free Lance-Star staff members sat down to discuss how we would attempt to tell the community about what can lead to the act of taking one's own life and how such tragedies can be prevented. As we talked, colleagues shared stories of the loss of friends and loved ones, and even their own personal struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts.
