I propose that most depressed teens that become depressed and are given anti-depressants are so because of some seriously [bleep] up parents and/or parent (since single parenting seems the norm these days). Parent/s that have not enough time for their own kids, in short folks with screwed up priorities.
Methinks the chain of events needs to go back to the family core, or lack of.
Obviously this isn't every case, but I'd bet a shiny new nickel it's a bunch of them.
I've dated enough SINGLE moms to know that the majority of these women shouldn't even be allowed to have a cat, much less a child.
