It's not because of puberty, it's because I'm depressed.
Description
Book Introduction
“You don’t even care how depressed I am…” Moody, rebellious, sulking, anger, laziness… It's not that I'm having trouble because I'm going through puberty, it's that I'm actually depressed. Teenagers' Brains Adapt to Depression, Forgetting How to Be Happy “I feel depressed and have no strength. “Am I a little weird?” The suicide rate among teenagers is skyrocketing year after year, and the number of teenagers struggling with career-related stress and the COVID-19 blues is increasing. According to the Youth Cyber Counseling Center, when examining counseling from March to September 2020, "problems related to depression and anxiety" increased by 85.7% compared to the previous year, and "problems related to self-harm and suicide" increased by 69.7%. Depression in teenagers manifests itself in various ways, such as irritability and boredom, rather than as a 'depressed appearance'. So, in many cases, depression is dismissed as something like ‘adolescent rebellion’ and is not properly examined. How can we protect and nurture the hearts of teenagers whose hearts have long since been on red alert? "It's not because of puberty, it's because I'm depressed" is a psychological essay that takes a close look at the depressed minds of teenagers and provides solace to their weary hearts. We examine the 'teenage depression' that is often overlooked or mistaken for puberty, and we provide guidance on how to deal with the depression that comes whenever the mental strength is weak. It also helps to eliminate prejudice against depression so that we do not think of ourselves as being strange or denying our 'depressed selves'. It lets you know that anyone can feel depressed, that you are okay even if you are depressed, and it teaches you step-by-step how to protect your body and mind when you are depressed. Through this book, teenagers will learn how to manage the mental cold called depression during their teenage years and throughout their lives. Additionally, when you are depressed, you will be able to reflect more on your own mind and develop an attitude of self-compassion. “The stories in this book are based on real cases. That's why, if you follow along slowly, you will come across your own story. I would like to meet the worries that I have been unable to tell my parents, teachers, and friends because I was embarrassed about my depression or because I was afraid of causing them worry. I sincerely hope that through this meeting, you will be comforted and take a step closer to happiness.” - From the “Introduction” |

Publisher's Review
A psychological essay that soothes the depressed minds of teenagers and boosts their self-esteem.
“You don’t even care how depressed I am…”
“It’s not my fault I’m depressed.”
A Closer Look at the Depressed Feelings of Teenagers, Often Misunderstood as "Middle School Syndrome" or "Puberty."
Depression among teenagers is deepening.
As you advance to higher level schools, the stress about studying and career paths increases to a whole new level.
An uncertain future and a social atmosphere where failure is not an option fuel teenagers' anxiety.
This leads to a low self-esteem and pushes teenagers into a swamp of depression.
Additionally, as our daily lives become non-face-to-face for a long time, depression that cannot be relieved due to the corona blues is building up in our hearts.
Moreover, relationships with friends are not easy.
Many people give up on relationships altogether because they dislike the depressing human relationships filled with comparison and alienation.
In this way, a red light is turned on in the hearts of teenagers, and the depressed feelings of these teenagers are often misunderstood as “sensitive boss,” “middle school syndrome,” or “puberty.”
Because of this, we are forced to pursue the same routine and study goals every day without even having the opportunity to properly look into or embrace them.
This book takes a close look at the depression in teenagers and delves into the real emotions behind their depressed state.
Depression is an effect, not a cause.
We will gradually identify which emotions cause depression and increase our understanding of our emotions.
Teenagers tend to view their 'depressed selves' as 'weak and in need of fixing.'
The author, who has counseled many students in schools, informs us that everyone experiences depression and that depression is not unusual.
It consoles teenagers who worry, "Is it just me who has this problem?" and helps them see depression for what it is, examine their own emotions behind it, and comfort them.
It will serve as a psychological magnifying glass that properly informs us about teenage depression and, furthermore, it will serve as a prescription that warms our hearts.
“Even when depression comes, I can be happy.”
Protect your mind with these mindfulness habits when you're feeling depressed.
Teenage depression isn't just a problem for a few serious kids.
Depression, often called a "cold of the mind," is a state of mind that anyone can experience, and it is an emotion that easily and periodically comes throughout the unstable and transitional period of adolescence.
If you don't accept and deal with this depression well, it can spread into more severe depression and cause problems in your daily life.
Before depression grows bigger, we can wisely deal with it by developing the habit of taking care of our minds.
This book teaches teenagers easy mindfulness habits to incorporate into their daily lives and how to protect their minds when depression strikes.
For some people, depression manifests as a great deal of irritation, while for others it manifests as a listlessness that makes them feel like they don't want to do anything.
Depression manifests differently for each individual, and the situations and moments that trigger feelings of depression also vary.
The author helps us understand, one by one, 'my depression', which comes to me periodically without me knowing or in certain situations.
And it gives you easy steps to take when mild depression strikes.
By developing mental habits and breathing techniques that take care of their body and mind, teenagers can protect their hearts even when they are depressed.
Even if depression comes, we don't have to postpone happiness.
Happiness is not something that can be found only after depression has completely subsided, and it is said that even when depression comes, you can not lose the 'happiness of your life'.
Teenagers will find this book to be a great help in developing mental strength and being able to take care of themselves and protect themselves even when they are depressed.
It will be a strong supporter of teenagers' mental health.
