Gr 7-12-- Hales defines depression, and then gives an overview of historical recognition and treatment, the types, the causes, and the current treatment. Chapters are devoted to depression in young people and suicide. Suggestions for self-help are offered, and warnings that signify the need for professional help are emphasized. The text is simply written and clearly illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs. Addresses and phone numbers of depression clinics and suicide prevention centers are arranged by state. The bibliography contains adult sources. Depression is discussed in books about suicide such as John Chiles' Teenage Depression and Suicide (Chelsea, 1986) or in general works about mental illness, but this seems to be the first that covers this subject for the teenage audience. --Martha Gordon, South Salem Library, NYBooknews
