When Depression Became a Childhood Disease
In the 1950s, a child's biggest fear might have been polio. Today, it's more likely to be their own mind. Depression has increased tenfold since mid-century, with the average age of first onset plummeting from 30 to just 14. By high school graduation, 15 percent of teenagers will have experienced major depression-with girls twice as vulnerable as boys. This isn't just sadness; it's a fundamental shift in how young people interpret their world. The culprit isn't what most parents assume. It's not social media alone, academic pressure, or even trauma. It's something far more insidious: learned pessimism-the habitual belief that bad events are permanent, pervasive, and personal. And here's the revolutionary insight: pessimism can be unlearned.
