abstract="OBJECTIVE: To make the case that developmental distress needs to be assessed when evaluating adolescent depression. <br><br>METHODS: Reviews of relevant papers relating to adolescent depression. <br><br>RESULTS: Adolescent depression is a common and costly health condition, confounded by a lack of consensus among health professionals regarding evidence-based approaches regarding treatments. Little attention has been paid to the contribution of developmental distress. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The current adult-like model of adolescent depression fails to advance the understanding of adolescent depression. A systematic evidence-based approach to identifying developmental self-perception distress in depressed adolescents could provide important advances in treatment to improve short-term and longer-term mental health outcomes. This paper proposes the creation of a psychometric tool to systematically measure developmental self-perception distress in adolescents with depression.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
