Is it possible to have anxiety and depression as a mere teenager?


What are the symptoms i should look for?

Yes, both me and one of my daughter's were diagnosed with depression while still under the age of ten. Some of the syptoms include
More sleep or less sleep than uausal
More eating or less eating than uausal.
Not enjoying the things that you used to enjoy.
Not wanting to be with the people you used like spending time with.
More energy or less energy
Feeling like you don't matter or your life doesn't matter.
Feeling like you don't want to do the things that you used to do.

Yes, it is possible. I work as a therapist in a school for children with emotional and behavioral disorders, and we have children as young as 6 years old diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and even gender identity disorder. If you're feeling that you may be suffering from anxiety and depression, please speak with your doctor and be very honest. It's important to treat these issues earlier rather than later--you don't need to suffer any longer when there are tons of treatment options out there!

I was diagnosed as bipolar at 12.
