Abstract

In recent years, adolescent depression has become a significant public health issue globally, profoundly affecting the quality of life, academic performance, and social functioning of adolescents. According to the China National Mental Health Development Report (2019-2020) released by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021, the detection rate of depression among Chinese adolescents is 24.6%, with severe depression accounting for 7.4%. Against this backdrop, the author has decided to conduct a comprehensive analysis of adolescent depression. This review aims to summarize the current state of research on adolescent depression to assist future researchers in better understanding and addressing this issue, thereby reducing the rate of adolescent depression. The methodology involved literature searches using "adolescent depression" as the keyword on CNKI, yielding 449 articles. After categorization and exclusion, the author found that current research on adolescent depression includes its definition, epidemiological data, causes and risk factors, impacts, diagnostic methods, treatment and intervention measures, and prevention strategies. This paper focuses on discussing the influencing factors and the evolution of treatment methods for adolescent depression and concludes with preliminary suggestions for future research.
