Abstract

Iako je depresija adolescenata tek 1971. godine priznata kao poremećaj kod djece i adolescenata, ona je danas veoma važna i zastupljena tema. Upravo zbog toga cilj ovog rada je prikazati što ona zapravo jest i koje su njene specifičnosti i značajke. U radu su najprije iznese glavne činjenice vezane uz depresiju adolescenata, kao što su epidemiologija, etiologija i simptomi, točnije klinička slika. Kako je ona u adolescenciji prisutnija kod djevojaka, prikazane su i razne hipoteze koje nude objašnjenje navedenoj pojavi. Zatim su prikazani razni rizični čimbenici koji vode razvoju depresije kod adolescenata, a i oni zaštitni koji ublažavaju rizične. Nakon toga je ukazana važnost prevencije i primjeri određenih preventivnih programa i na koje načine se depresija liječi. Naposljetku, prikazana je važnost uloge struke socijalnog rada u radu s adolescentima koji su u riziku od razvoja depresivnog poremećaja, kao i onih koji su ga već razvili.

Abstract (english)

Although adolescent depression was only recognized as a disorder in children and adolescents in 1971, it is a very important and widespread topic today. Precisely because of this, the goal of this paper is to show what it actually is and what its specificities and features are. The paper first presents the main facts related to adolescent depression, such as epidemiology, etiology and symptoms, precisely, the clinical picture. As it is more present in girls in adolescence, various hypotheses have been presented that offer an explanation for the mentioned phenomenon. Then, various risk factors that lead to the development of depression in adolescents are presented, as well as protective factors that mitigate the risk factors. After that, the importance of prevention and examples of certain preventive programs and the ways in which depression is treated are presented. Finally, the importance of the role of the social work profession in working with adolescents who are at risk of developing a depressive disorder, as well as those who have already developed it, is presented.
