Explanation:
Depression is hard to explain to a person who doesn’t have it. It makes you feel worthless and dead inside. It affects you at anytime and it makes you give up. Lot of things are hard when we are depressed. We should change our thoughts and ideas to live happily. But a strange battle is necessary for this to overcome.
It is diagnosed by a professional... They simply ask u questions like if somebody hurt u? if u hate somebody? can u sleep well? if u have ever thought that u are better dead than live etc..
It is treated by the professional in ways like...boosting ur self esteem...doing things that make u feel gud about urself etc

Diagnosis
When teen depression is suspected, the doctor will typically do these exams and tests.
Physical exam. The doctor may do a physical exam and ask in-depth questions about your teenager's health to determine what may be causing depression. In some cases, depression may be linked to an underlying physical health problem.
Lab tests. For example, your teen's doctor may do a blood test called a complete blood count or test your teen's thyroid to make sure it's functioning properly.
Psychological evaluation. A doctor or mental health professional can talk with your teen about thoughts, feelings and behavior, and may include a questionnaire. These will help pinpoint a diagnosis and check for related complications.
