Loss of interest/pleasure in normal activities: A teen who was once first in line for concerts or star of the basketball team who suddenly stops listening to music or going to practice could be cause for concern. Depression can affect activities that usually bring happiness to a teen. Significant weight loss/gain: The teenage years affect the body, causing many changes, including weight loss or gain. However, if the loss is significant, or occurs over an extremely short amount of time, there might be something more going on than "teenage growth." A teen might turn to food for comfort, or turn away from food due to loss of appetite.Insomnia/excessive sleeping: The stereotype of teens is that they love their sleep. However, this could also be due to something more worrisome. Teens that are depressed will often sleep excessively, or barely sleep, consumed with their thoughts of depression.Poor performance in school: Just as an adult might struggle at work if they are depressed, a teen will often struggle at school if depressed. Homework becomes unimportant and teens can have problems concentrating while in class.Irritability, anger, restlessness: A teen who is depressed will often have difficulty with the relationships that he or she has. It can cause a teen to lash out and be irritable or angry as a reflection of his frustration with his depression.
