This week we are tackling the very important topic of teen depression. Gary Direnfeld, Social Worker and
child expert is joining me and we are talking about the topic from many angles; what depression is, what
type of depression teens suffer from, and how to get your teen help the help that he or she needs.
Depression is a serious problem that impacts every aspect of a teen’s life.

Fortunately, teenage depression can be treated, and as a concerned parent, teacher, or friend, there are many things you can do to help.
