Depression is just part of being a teenager, right?
A global pandemic. Climate change. School shootings. Cyberbullying. Racial violence. War. Not to mention school, money, relationships, social media, parental expectations, and pressure, pressure, pressure. Our world and our minds can be pretty dark places, and you're not alone if you're struggling or feeling stuck. But what if you could stop that spiral of depression and reverse it?

Written by a clinical psychologist specializing in adolescent mental health, this engaging guide offers an array of prompts, quizzes, exercises, and other activities you can use to jumpstart your motivation and turn destructive thoughts and behaviors into positive outlooks and actions that lead to a more promising future.

·Why you? What specific conditions in your life, your brain, your body, and your experience are making you feel this way?
·Why managing stress is a much better coping strategy than trying to avoid it ·Small, no-pressure steps you can take to start rebuilding motivation (and why doing stuff is better than not doing stuff)
·How to set, reach, and build on healthy, realistic goals that leverage your unique strengths
