    CAMH – Volume 22, Issue 2, May 2017 – Editorial: Pharmacotherapy and adolescent depression – an important treatment option

    Abstract

At the same time, there is some evidence that rates of diagnosis and, in the US at least, referral for depression in adolescents has been declining (Libby et al., Archives of General Psychiatry, 66, 2009, 633; John et al., Psychological Medicine, 46, 2016, 3315).
