The National Health and Medical Research Council says that young people may not take help of the professionals because they believe their symptoms are a normal part of growing up, or they fear the stigma of mental health problems. Whatever the reason may be, but the reality is, that up to 75% kids and teens remain unnoticed of the depression disorders they suffer from.

Even the kids who are detected with the symptoms generally tend to go without the treatment. Many parents are likely not aware of the early developments of depression amongst the teens. Adolescence is the crest where the problem can root up and become a disaster for the later periods of the teen's life.

The clinics should make an extra effort in providing substantial amount of information to young people, expectant mothers and new mothers.

Psychiatrist Professor Brett McDermott says that, a new approach should be taken towards guiding everyone about tackling pre-depression symptoms otherwise it would not be beneficial. Last week he saw an eight-year-old child who's on 40 milligrams of an anti-depressant, 90mg of another drug as well as two other psychotropic drugs.

Better counseling services, if provided, can bring a drastic level of improvement in the whole scenario.
