Comment from: Joy, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: December 28

I feel sad and rejected and I can't concentrate in my studies. I find faults in all the people around me and I feel lonely and alone. I blame people around me for my sadness; I soak my pillow with tears. I leave my school for home and miss my lectures. I look moody all days and I don't answer my phone calls and avoid friends.

My 17-year old daughter seems preoccupied and withdrawn. How can I tell if it's just "the blues" or depression?
