| BrainsofBB2G | It's hard to tell what is hormones and what is not. #mhsm | |
| nursefriendly | @annmariebrok A1 Having the occasional "blues" is one thing, prolonged clinical #depression is much different in presentation #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @MHSMchat A2: Adolescents can act more rash with their decisions on how to alleviate depression (ie. suicide, running away, etc.) #mhsm | |
| ReachOut_AUS | Feeling hopeless, being overly self-critical or losing interest in activities can be symptoms of depression http://t.co/hoBxhhYh #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @nursefriendly Yes, definitely! I probably should have specified "prolonged behavior change." :) #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @nursefriendly A1 from personal experience, I can say spotting the diff can be tough. Often there has to be a catalyst. #mhsm | |

| nursefriendly | RT @MHSMchat: Q2: What are some of the differences in clinical #depression in #adolescents versus adults? #mhsm | |

| summerberetsky | @annmariebrok @unsuicide I totally agree. It's bewildering to think of how beneficial stress management training would be in schools.. #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | A4 A lot of people talk about withdrawal or sadness. But I think anger/short tempered/acting out can be a sign too. #mhsm | |

| songbrdscientst | @brainsofbb2g depression isn't anything to be ashamed of...but the collateral damage during and after an episode is shameful. #mhsm | |

| BlackWtheBlues | @BrainsofBB2G People with depression need to advocate for themselves. Too often they internalize the shame & don't seek help. #mhsm | |
| HealthyCoping | A5. Your child's current mood/depression is not a referrendum on your parenting skills. We aren't here to judge, we're here to help #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @unsuicide Q5a: Some kids would rather talk to a school counselor or therapist rather than a parent. We have to be okay with that. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | @Murfomurf Hey there, so glad to see you join in! #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | A 5a: I don't think the answer should be any different. Sugar coating isn't helping anybody with Depression. #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | @annmariebrok That's true. It's important not to be aggressive about it. #mhsm Or telling everyone that your child has depression. | |
| BrainsofBB2G | @BlackWtheBlues visit us at http://t.co/tzgjEMtN #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @BlackWtheBlues Unfortunately, people suffering from depression are often the least able to advocate for themselves. #mhsm | |
| remedyke | @BlackWtheBlues I take cipralex (lexapro) low dose. Helps my anxiety and not as deeply depressed #mhsm | |
| BrainsofBB2G | @BlackWtheBlues the stigma of mental illness is something @bandback2gether works to eliminate. Communication is everything! #mhsm | |
| unsuicide | @annmariebrok In some cases it's probably better they talk to a counsellor or t. But they need to ask parents to make appts for help. #mhsm | |
| Murfomurf | @MHSMchat Was passing by- spotted a familiar experience mentioned...have been a bit "off" myself. #mhsm | |

| BlackWtheBlues | @annmariebrok @AmandaMichelle @jackgoesbeyond Also, untreated mental health can also affect the quality of your physical health. #mhsm | |
| HealthyCoping | A5. when a child is diagnosed w/ an illness of any form, it can be difficult for many parents to not feel guilty or at fault #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @unsuicide They can go to school counselor w/out parental knowledge. That counselor can be a liason btwn student & parents if needed. #mhsm | |
| AmandaMichelle | actually, I like that better. We need to talk to the person we're concerned about, not others. Nothing about us w/o us @unsuicide #mhsm | |
| Murfomurf | Re: unknowing parents. Really try hard convey how serious teen depression can be. No frills. Perhaps get them to think back to self. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | @songbrdscientst @BrainsofBB2G not nec true about the collateral damage during/after an episode - most informed ppl r understanding #mhsm | |
| Ben_Duggan | RT @mrchriswagner: Hey guys, youth #mentalhealth is not a specialty of mine, I'll leave it to the experts like @ReachOut_AUS #mhsm have a great chat | |
| BlackWtheBlues | @jackgoesbeyond True. So the question becomes, how do we empower ppl w/ mental illness so that they are able to advocate 4 themselves. #mhsm | |
| ReachOut_AUS | #Depression can be caused by a few things, physical illness/bullying & sometimes no obvious cause at all: http://t.co/Ame8Lmfa #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | I know that my high school had a psychiatrist on staff, who many students could go to. But not all schools are that lucky. #mhsm | |
| AmandaMichelle | Yep "@BlackWtheBlues: @annmariebrok @jackgoesbeyond Also, untreated mental health can also affect the quality of your physical health. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | @HealthyCoping Yes guilt or denial #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @AmandaMichelle Agreed. Even the least "trained professionals" can understand adolescent feelings because we were all that age once. #mhsm | |
| Kolourmegold | RT @parisianfeline: RT @MHSMchat: By 14 yrs of age, #depressive disorders are more than twice as common in girls as in boys #mhsm | |
| unsuicide | @BlackWtheBlues Right, how do we empower teens to advocate for their own health? #mhsm | |
| Murfomurf | As with eating dis, parental empathy needs cultivating. No blame: just say its a combination of factors inside the unique child. #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @BlackWtheBlues I think educating our friends and family is the first step. Many of them will step up to the advocacy plate. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | Q6: Whose decision should it be about when, if and what meds an #adolescent may take? Parent, child or parent and child? #mhsm | |
| BlackWtheBlues | @BrainsofBB2G I just bookmarked your site. #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | RT @MHSMchat: Q6: Whose decision should it be about when, if and what meds an #adolescent may take? Parent, child or parent and child? #mhsm | |

| 1212StudioALG | “@MHSMchat: Q5a: #mhsm” - yes, I would need to know the family and their history before saying anything without being asked | |
| unsuicide | A6 Meds should be a mutual and educated decision ideally. #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @unsuicide Considering that in some places, giving teens info about their own health is looked down upon it's a huge challenge. #mhsm | |
| bandback2gether | @MHSMchat Everyone involved. Parent, child, medical professional. Don't force a child to take something they don't understand #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | A6: I think it would need to vary. Some parents might not want their kids on meds, even if the kids need it. And vice versa. #mhsm | |
| BrainsofBB2G | RT @bandback2gether: Everyone involved. Parent, child, medical professional. Dont force a child to take something they dont understand #mhsm | |
| Murfomurf | Teen's PERCEPTION of bullying, other events can lead to depression. A MENTAL health problem not necessarily reactionary. #mhsm | |
| ReachOut_AUS | @Ben_Duggan @mrchriswagner #youngpeople are the experts in their own experience, we're just really good listeners! :D #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | A6: Teenagers need more autonomy to make decisions regarding their health. We can't treat them as the property of their parents #mhsm | |
| cassE_xx | 6. The child should definitely get a say, ideally an informed decision between parent, child & doctor #mhsm | |
| AmandaMichelle | Both RT @MHSMchat: Q6: Whose decision should it be abt when, if & what meds an #adolescent may take? Parent, child or parent & child? #mhsm | |
| BlackWtheBlues | @jackgoesbeyond Does it become more complicated if they are a harm to themselves or others? #mhsm | |
| AmandaMichelle | A6. Parents need to listen to their children with regards to taking meds, side effects, complaints, etc. Minors have rights, too. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | Q7:Is #mentalhealth counseling always a good idea? If not, give some examples of why. #mhsm | |
| 1212StudioALG | “@MHSMchat: parents, child and psychiatrist should be in agreement before child takes any meds - also depends on the age of child #mhsm” | |
| HealthyCoping | I LOVE that last RT by @bandback2gether & @MHSMchat. #mhsm | |
| BrainsofBB2G | A6: should be a decision based on doc's eval and a child's need with strong parental support #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @MHSMchat Both parents & child should have input. But an informed decision should come from a mental health professional. #mhsm | |
| AmandaMichelle | @u_experience @raptjr actually #mhsm is having that discussion right now. #HipHopEd | |
| Murfomurf | @unsuicide Need to teach teens how to monitor/look after their thoughts, emotions & TALK about them. As in conflict resolution session #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @BlackWtheBlues Of course. But that always complicates a situation. #mhsm | |
| annmariebrok | @MHSMchat A7: I'm biased. I ALWAYS think counseling is a good idea. Even preventatively. #mhsm | |
| HealthyCoping | As a CCLS working w/ families on what hospitals call "meds compliance," you'd be surprised how little kids, teen, & even parents know #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | RT @MHSMchat: Q7:Is #mentalhealth counseling always a good idea? If not, give some examples of why. #mhsm | |
| MHSMchat | @jackgoesbeyond How? #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | A7 I think counseling can be beyond beneficial IF you find the right one for you. #mhsm | |
| jackgoesbeyond | @1212StudioALG With respect, that's giving the parents a veto that they may not be equipped to handle correctly. #mhsm | |
| parisianfeline | This. RT @annmariebrok: @MHSMchat A7: Im biased. I ALWAYS think counseling is a good idea. Even preventatively. #mhsm | |
| cassE_xx | 7. Provided the young person is willing to try counselling, I think it's a good idea #mhsm | |
| u_experience | @AmandaMichelle what does #mhsm represent? mental health... | |
| MHSMchat | @HealthyCoping Yes I do know that's why I'm asking the question so it's discussed #mhsm | |
