Reversing the Spiral of Depression for Teens: Simple Actions to Improve Your Mood, Boost Motivation, and Build the Life You Want

Depression is just part of being a teenager, right?

Our world and our minds can be pretty dark places, and you're not alone if you’re struggling or feeling stuck. But what if you could stop that spiral of depression and reverse it? You may not be able to change the world around you, but you can change how you respond to it.

Written by a clinical psychologist specializing in adolescent mental health, this engaging guide offers an array of activities you can use to jumpstart your motivation and turn destructive thoughts and behaviors into positive outlooks and actions that lead to a more promising future. Combining new research in neuroscience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation, the activities in this guide will help you understand and identify:

● What depression is, what causes it, and why is it so prevalent in teens?

● Why you? What specific conditions in your life, your brain, your body, and your experience are making you feel this way?

● Why managing stress is a much better coping strategy than trying to avoid it

● How to set, reach, and build on healthy, realistic goals that leverage your unique strengths
