The Boston Globe (11/3, Albernaz) reports that a report issued in September by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reveals that “rates of major depressive episodes among teens have risen in recent years, and many of those affected are not receiving treatment.” Conclusions of the report were “based on survey data from a nationally representative sample of more than 17,000 12- to 17-year-olds.”
