Depression can look different in adolescents and young adults. They may seem bored, tired, or have low energy and/or motivation. Sleep problems are also common, both oversleeping and having difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Adolescents and young adults may seem very self-critical, or they may become very irritable with others. Depression can interfere with school performance, peer and family relationships, and may put youth at increased risk for self-injury, substance use, or suicide.
