Description

"... this uses case histories of teenagers as the framework, an approach that will quickly draw in the reader. Moragne presents the stories of seven teens diagnosed with different forms of depression, following the kids from the onset of their condition to successful treatment. Her profiles are respectful as well as thorough, including a surprising amount of information about symptoms, kinds of depression, causative factors, treatments (psychotherapy, medicines, electroconvulsive therapy), and the impact on one's self-esteem and personal relationships. It's made clear throughout that the condition is treatable." -From Booklist
