TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Psychosocial treatment of depression and suicidality in adolescents JO - CNS spectrums A1 - Brunstein Klomek, Anat A1 - Stanley, Barbara SP - 135 EP - 144 VL - 12 IS - 2 N2 - Depression is a common disorder among adolescents and is associated with a high risk of suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among adolescents in the United States. Currently, there are only two evidence-based psychotherapies for adolescence depression: cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy. Furthermore, psychosocial interventions that specifically target suicidal behavior in adolescents are even fewer in number than treatments for depression. This article will review the psychosocial interventions for depression and suicidality in adolescents and will describe a recently developed treatment that is under study for depressed suicidal adolescents.
