Depression rates among young adults are continuing to rise, and teen girls are most likely to be at risk. A recent analysis in the journal Pediatrics found that the risk of major depressive disorder for American 12-17-year-olds rose from under 9% in 2005 to about 11% in 2014. For teen boys the increase was 6%, and among teen girls the increase was a staggering 17%. Although there is no clear answer to why the illness skews this way, the researchers hypothesized that girls may be more exposed to triggers like cyberbullying. (CBS News)
