A parent-focused guide to recognizing and responding to teen depression

Drawing on the author’s experience as both a physician and a parent, this guide organizes its advice around ten “Parental Partnering Strategies.” It addresses practical areas that can be difficult for families to navigate: distinguishing depression from ordinary mood changes, recognizing potential suicide risk, following medication response, and watching for possible relapse. The book also incorporates perspectives from parents of depressed teenagers and mental-health professionals, framing parental involvement as an active part of supporting a teen through depression. Its emphasis is on observation, communication, and informed participation alongside professional care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents or caregivers concerned about signs of depression in a teenager
  • Families seeking guidance on suicide-risk awareness and relapse monitoring
  • Adults wanting a structured framework for supporting a teen receiving mental-health care

Book overview

Dr. Norman T. Berlinger initially missed the signs of his own son's depression. But by drawing on his love for his son, as well as his skills and training as a doctor, he developed a set of techniques to help lead his son out of depression. In this book, he offers 10 Parental Partnering Strategies based on his own experiences and on interviews with parents of depressed teens and mental health professionals. Dr. Berlinger's tips will help concerned parents differentiate true depression from moodiness, be alert to suicide risks, monitor medication effectiveness, and spot signs of relapse.

One in eight teens is depressed, but Rescuing Your Teenager from Depression shows that there are ways parents can help.
