Teens: Depression and suicide.

It's normal for teenagers to be moody from time to time, but how do we spot the signs of true depression in our teens? At 12, Matt was living a seemingly normal suburban childhood. But on the inside, he questioned his self-worth, his self-image and whether it'd even matter if he was alive at all. Matt's depression led to a suicide attempt that means he'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Now as a 19-year-old, he gives motivational talks to help teens and parents discuss mental health. In this episode of Navigating Parenthood - Talking to teens, brought to you by HCF, we learn how to talk about the teenage experience of depression.
