题文

Most of the teenagers with major depression never get treatment for it, according to a new federal report. That depressing news comes as no surpri to healthcare professionals, who say that many kids and parents don't recognize depression’s symptoms(症状). And if they do, it can be difficult or impossible to get help. This is no small problem; about 2 million teenagers experience clinical depression  each year, an illness that can do harm to school performance and friendships and is a leading cau of teen suicide(自杀). The new report found that just 39 percent of teens with major depression got treatment. Here are three ways to make sure your child can get over the problem. Getting diagnod(诊断). Last month, pediatricians(儿科医生) and family doctors were required to examine all teenagers for depression. Courtney Jones, a 17-year-old in Portland, Ore., said that the examination saved her life when she was 14. She didn't recognize that her loss of confidence and sudden lack of interest in spending time with friends were warning signs. Symptoms of depression include frequent sadness, decread interest in activities, and hopelessness.  Finding help. It's no surpri to healthcare professionals that families have a hard time finding mental-health rvices; there are only 7,418 child and adolescent psychiatrists(精神科医生) in the United States, or about 1 for every 10,000 kids. For now, the best first step is to be examined by a pediatrician or family doctor, and then go to a psychiatrist for treatment and perhaps medication. David Palmiter, a psychologist, suggests checking out local universities, which often run clinics, as well as community mental-health clinics.    Paying for treatment. Paying for healthcare is a struggle the days, and mental-health rvices can be ever harder to cover. The report found that lack of health insurance coverage was the biggest barrier to getting help. only 17.2 percent of teens without health insurance coverage were able to get treatment. However, there are still ways to find affordable mental-health care that you may not be aware of. In a word, you should establish a relationship with a doctor, give the doctor a chance to get to know your kid and help her or him get better. 1.
