Teens at Risk – Addiction and Depression – www.tmwmedia.com A lot of depressed people, especially teenagers, also have problems with alcohol or other drugs. Sometimes the depression comes first and people try using drugs as a way to escape.

Teens at Risk teaches how to be honest about both issues – showing how depressed teens can deal effectively with their illness without substance abuse and how to communicate with people who can help them get into treatment.
