Major depression is the leading undiagnosed illness among teens, affecting five percent of American teenagers. Of these, only 30 percent will receive any sort of intervention or treatment. Suicide, the most serious risk of depression, is the third leading cause of death among high school students.
The Adolescent Depression Awareness Program (ADAP) is an evidence-based curriculum offered by the Weller Center which educates high school students, their teachers and parents about adolescent depression so that more teens suffering with depression get the treatment they need.
