Clinical Trial Summary

Depression is defined as a cluster of specific symptoms with associated impairment. The clinical and diagnostic features of the disorder are broadly similar in adolescents and adults.

Nevertheless, depression in adolescents is more often missed than it is in adults, possibly because of the prominence of irritability, mood reactivity, and fluctuating symptoms in adolescents.

While depression is the leading cause of disability for both males and females, the burden of depression is 50% higher for females than males. In fact, depression is the leading cause of disease burden for women in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries.


Description:

The prevalence of depression in children is low (<1% in most studies) with no sex differences, and then rises substantially throughout adolescence.

Okasha found that the lifetime prevalence of depression in urban and rural Egyptian populations to be 11.4 and 19.7% Several studies show that depression during adolescence is a risk factor of academic failures, marriage struggles, suicide attempts, interpersonal conflicts, unemployment, drug abuse; it is also a strong predictor of adulthood depression.

Girls married too early are also more likely to experience domestic violence, abuse and forced sexual relations.

Similarly early married females when interact with new individuals after marriage are unable to deal them psychologically which is mostly due to the bad behaviours shown from in-laws towards them thus leading to lower self-esteem, increasing their risk of clinical depression which on extreme aspect can cause suicidal attempts.
