What kind of help can you get with an emotionally depressed teen where do you seek help first?

Firstly, you need to talk to your teen and see if they think they can handle their problems themselves. If the can't or the depression symptoms continue or start to interfere with your teenager's everyday life you must speak with a doctor or a mental health professional. Make sure the doctor is able to treat adolescents. A family doctor or paediatrician is a good place to start. Or perhaps your school could recommend someone to you. If your teen is having suicidal thoughts, get help immediately. Call a suicide hotline or a doctor and get family members and friends for support and help. Good luck.
