Core Tip

Core Tip: The early detection and prevention of depressive disorder in adolescents is important because it not only adversely affects interpersonal relationships and academic achievement but also increases the probability of other related mental illnesses such as panic disorder. We developed a nomogram for screening depressive disorder using epidemiological data on 2438 adolescents. Physical symptoms, aggression, social withdrawal, attention, satisfaction with school life, mean sleeping hours, and conversation time with parents were influential factors on depressive disorder in adolescents.
