teen depression

I recently saw a teen client who suffers from mild depression. He has supportive, great parents but it had
gone undiagnosed for years. The symptoms can be easy to misdiagnose. They often include inattention, forgetfulness, disorganization and lack of motivation. The parents recently took him to get a psychological evaluation. They were expecting to hear that he had ADHD and were very surprised to learn that he did not have ADHD, bur infact has been depressed.
