Depression is a problem facing lots of families with an estimated 2 million teens in the United States suffering from depression, but less than half receive treatment, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

But detractors worry that aggressive screening will lead to over-medicating children

"It's a questionnaire and the questionnaire is with leading questions, which, if you had a child answer, you would find that most children are going to fall into a category of having something wrong with them," said Alliance for Human Research Protection president and founder Vera Sharav.


Depression Warning Signs
Some of the symptoms are sadness, irritability, isolation, loss of interest in activities, and a big sleep and appetite change. While any teen can experience one of these symptoms, parents should look for a cluster of them for two weeks or more, Savard said. Of course, teens can get sad or irritable for a few days, but if it goes on for an extended time, that's a red flag.
