Core Tip

Core Tip: This article examines Yu et al’s study on depression in Chinese adolescents, focusing on how negative life events and dysfunctional attitudes increase depressive symptoms. The study highlights the protective role of social support, showing that strong social connections can reduce the impact of stress on mental health. Culturally tailored strategies are essential for effective treatment, highlighting the need for early identification and interventions to mitigate the long-term effects of adolescent depression on emotional and cognitive development. Clinicians, schools, and communities can play a critical role in developing support systems to help adolescents navigate the challenges that contribute to depression.
