We know depression is a risk factor for future substance use and possible abuse. Based on the linked article it is more important than ever to look for signs of depression and anxiety early so interventions can occur before youth turn to self-medication in harmful ways. Thank you to the Village: Napa for sharing this insightful article. Please feel free to pass along to our partners and interested parties https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/05/31/more-than-a-third-of-teenage-girls-experience-depression-new-study-says/?utm_term=.eb313baea390

Depression is more common in children and emerges at a younger age than previous research suggested.
