Anecdotal reports suggest that adolescents presenting to counselling/health/mental health services often identify difficulties in their past or current romantic relationships (e.g. repeated negative interactions with a partner(s), experiencing partner abuse, or very ‘intense/stormy’ relationships) or a recent break-up as the main trigger of their current symptoms or distress. These adolescents are often in significant distress and may present with severe depressive symptoms and suicidal risk.
