What is depression?
What causes it?
What effects does it have on the average teenager?
We have always wondered...but have never been answered. Untill now. We have been doing a descriptive project about the causes and effects of depression, and how it changes the teenage psyche. Our team consists of two people who are very determined to find answers. Our menu bar includes all of the important aspects of our research, and will help you navigate if you are looking for something specific. If you are wondering wether or not you have depression, please take our Quiz, which you can also access from the Project Results page. Please take a look at our website, we hope it will be helpful!
