Depression Follows Risky Teen Behavior

[duddits]

A new study suggests that depression may follow risky teen behavior, rather than being the cause of it. The study showed that drug use and teen sex raised the risk of depression later in life. This new study contradicts the notion that teens use sex and drugs to self-medicate their own depression.

I think that in some cases, depression may follow risky teen behavior, while with other teens, it's the other way around. I believe it goes both ways.
