I don't mean to put my problems publicly on the forum but my Grandma had said I was too young for depression and I told her I wasn't. She insists I am. But I just want to to know, do you think it's possible for someone to be 'too young' for depression? And do you think depression can be severe at any age?

If your in your early teens, you shouldn't really have anything to be depressed about. However, if you've been diagnosed with clinical depression, it's a different story!

But yeah I think pre teens is usually around the age they start getting diagnosed i guess.

I'm assuming you're older than a preschooler, so it's not an impossibility for you to have MDD. Ultimately, I absolutely do not think anyone is too young to be diagnosed, especially given MDD's biological and genetic basis. Along that line, MDD can be severe at any age that it's diagnosed.

Yep. Posts: 1,397 Group: A Rank Hero Member #12,099 Joined: May 26, 2011 Steam ID: Maximus123458 Game Currently Playing: Megaman X6	I think i was diagnosed with depression back when i was 10 or 11. Back then, i went on vacation and noticable aggression problems were getting into me. Then people diagnosed me, turns out i have a depressions. I'm not sure if age matters but i noticed that teenagers terrifyingly often are diagnosed with the depressive disorder, so perhaps the age when you can get depressions is 10-to-the rest of your life, in that way. Still, i don't know. I'm just stating a simplimistic theory that came up to my mind.

She insists I am. Don't forget, your grandmother grew up in a period of time when psychology was still regarded as kind of a pseudoscience, and was nowhere near as developed and refined as it is today (even though qutie a lot of it is still theoretical). Her perspective will of course be biased. I'm gonna repeat what several others have said; depression can be diagnosed in pre-teen years, so yeah, not 'too early' at all, assuming you're 13 or older. Having said that, many doctors are very quick to diagnose mental illness these days, so yeah, always best to get a second (or even third) opinion before throwing your hands up and saying "Welp, guess I've got the mental imbalances now".

It might be a bit less likely in the younger groups, but I don't think there's a point where a person could be "too young."

Well, my mom is going to work in social working and she diagnoses people and she is going to work with them and their problems. She said if she officially was a social worker right now, she would offically diagnose me with depression. Personally I think I have severe depression, but that's just me. But, yeah I know my Grandma is like that. I know it will be biased.

'Ello, lad! Posts: 2,631 Group: E Rank Legend Member #12,660 Joined: December 29, 2011 Gender: Male Country: United States of America Steam ID: mxnneurosis Game Currently Playing: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysey	Too young for depression? No. There is no age that is too young or too old for depression. I've been depressed and confused since my age of 4...I actually have a grey hair now, which scares me. But honestly, no one is too old for depression for that would be saying that people are too young to be upset or cry. Indeed, it's much more dangerous to be depressed at a young age because...well...kids tend to have a very creative imagination at that time. Kind of like me at age 13.

I understand where you're coming from, sorta. And @ Fenroar just self esteem, and voices in my head telling me negative things. I dont wanna make this thread about me though!

If you don't want to talk about it then that's fine. Might wanna tell your parents and let them know how serious you are though if it continues to be a problem.
