Adolescence is a crucial period for developing self-concepts and emotional foundations, yet many teens face significant challenges, particularly those suffering from depression. This study highlights the unique risks and long-term effects of depression, especially among female adolescents, who are twice as likely to experience it compared to males. It investigates the impact of same-sex and cross-sex parental influences, along with factors like academic achievement and self-esteem, on depressive symptoms. Aimed at parents, educators, and researchers, the book offers insights into addressing gender-specific sources of adolescent depression.
