Wondering how to help a teenage with depression?

Avery’s House is a teen mental health treatment house. Our specialized professionals work with adolescents to evaluate, diagnose, & support various mental health conditions, including depression. We provide a non-judgemental, LGBTQA friendly environment where teenagers can safely begin or continue their treatment.

The signs of teen depression aren’t always obvious

Depression does not look the same for everyone. In many cases, it’s wrongfully dismissed as mood swings associated with adolescence. Although only a clinician or mental health professional can test for and diagnose teenage depression, parents/guardians are often in the best position to spot early warning signs and get help for their kids. Knowing the signs could help your teen to avoid a downward spiral.
