It can be a tough thing to accept that your teenager is experiencing depression. But it can be even harder if you feel like they don't want help. If you've chatted to your teen and offered to help them, you may now need just to be patient. One of the key symptoms of depression is fatigue, so doing anything can be very difficult. Your child might also feel like they're in a really dark space and cut off from their friends and family. So, they might seem like they don't want to listen to you or accept your help.
