Age and Clinical Depression: Today's Youth in the Twenty-First Century

Klerman, Gerald L.

Journal of Gerontology, 31, 3, 318-322, May 76

Clinical depression is on the increase in adolescence and young adulthood. Reasons for this are: (1) an increase in the number of people in this age group; and (2) the sheer number of people which creates stress. The author speculates whether reactive depression in youth will lead to more depression in adulthood. (Author/EJT)
