Abstract:
In adolescents, as in adults, most depressive persons are not suicidal, and many suicidal persons are not depressed. However, accurate diagnosis and treatment of depression in adolescent patients is essential to suicide prevention. Unfortunately, depression and suicidality remain widely undiagnosed and untreated in the adolescent population.
