Abstract

This article considers the depressive problematics emerging during adolescence in the frame of the transformations that characterize this period of life, with a focus on the interference of socio-cultural dimensions. Several clinical features can be distinguished through the greadient anxiety/depression, depressive feelings/psychosomatic symptoms, depressive expressions/self-defeating conducts. The suicidal risk during adolescence and its links with depressive troubles is considered. A global multidisciplinary approach is recommended.
