Just out: Depression among U.S. teen girls doubled from 2009 to 2019 and was up 74% among teen boys, according to just-released data from the gov't administered National Survey of Drug Use and Health. What does this mean?
NSDUH screens adolescents (ages 12 to 17) using clinical criteria for major depressive episode in the last year. Twice as many teen girls in 2019 (vs. 2009) have clinical-level depression, and 74% more teen boys do as well. Why?
The 2019 data makes it clear that the rise in teen depression is not due to the Great Recession. In fact, it's exactly the *opposite* of what you'd expect if teen depression were caused by economic struggles: As depression rose 2009-2019, the U.S. economy was steadily improving.
