Mix this uncertainty with the thread of (diagnosed and undiagnosed) mental illness running through my family tree, and you have a recipe for disaster. The preteen and teen years are hard enough to decode without factoring in anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that are finally being discussed as the legitimate medical problems they are. Below, I’ve gathered a list of adolescent depression books for parents. Our children need us to be advocates and allies, and while there isn’t one guidebook for parenting, there are titles to act as little lights, pushing us towards something that might help. None of these adolescent depression books for parents are going to take away the incredible stress of supporting a teen dealing with mental health issues. Hopefully, however, one of these adolescent depression books for parents will give you a scrap of comfort, a turn of phrase, or a piece of the puzzle that will allow you show up and support the young person you love.
