Talking about depression can be hard, but there is no greater struggle than dealing with depression alone. Historically, depression has been stigmatized because it makes people seem unreliable and unattractive. To add to that, self-stigmatization is often a common symptom of depression, with sufferers feeling ashamed of their condition. But depression is not a personal weakness. After all, this mental illness affects 350 million people worldwide.

This following is Dr. Rosi’s response to the Blog How Adolescent Depression has Affected my Relationship with my Sister f rom December 28, 2015.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective on your sister’s depression.  Your observations on how Adolescent Depression can affect a person and family are shared by the hundreds of family members I have seen over my years of treating adolescents.  Depression can be so damaging to the person and the family on multiple levels.  We can all recall the challenges faced in normal adolescence, whether it be who you are as a person, what you believe in, whom you trust, or what you choose to wear to school that day.  Imagine having to deal with depression on top of all that, including continual sadness, low motivation and energy, and possibly disrupted sleep and appetite.  How does one talk about that when the world of adolescence, and the world in general, may stigmatize you?  Fortunately for those who seek help, there are effective treatments for Adolescent Depression and some exciting new research on the horizon.

How Adolescent Depression has Affected my Relationship with my Sister

Posted by Guest Blogger on Dec 28, 2015 12:37:06 PM

The following blog is from a guest blogger that is the sister of a child with Adolescent Depression. 

Ever since I was little, I have known my family was different. We rarely sat at the dinner table together. We never went to the movies. We did not seem like a "normal" family. Both my dad and sister suffer from depression. What this means to me is that they have short tempers and usually cannot control their emotions. While living in a house with two people who suffer from this disease has been difficult, it is the relationship with my sister that has been hit the hardest.
