While many people still think depression is strictly an adult problem, research clearly indicates it’s increasingly common among preteens and teens. In fact, about 4 percent of adolescents get seriously depressed each year; and this may just be a tip of the iceberg, since most teens may not be aware of, or willing to admit to, common symptoms of depression.
In Stomping Out Depression, the authors of Stomping Out the Darkness and The Bondage Breaker, Youth Edition provide a biblical tool to help teens regain hope and learn how God’s love can help them break free from depression. The first step, as with any serious illness, is to understand and admit we need help.
