Hi Brianna, This is a very striking infographic. I really liked the order in which you arranged the information, as well as the images you added in each section. Likewise, despite being concise (as infographics generally should be), it brings the necessary and relevant information on the subject of depression in adolescents. I did not know that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy existed, which seemed to me to be a good option as a treatment for depression. Another fact that I found intriguing in your infographic is that women are more susceptible to depression compared to men, which I would have liked to know why. Very good job!

Hello Brianna, I loved this infographic! It is a nice transition from articles I hope we will see more. Nonetheless, great job on yours it was very easy to read and understand. Most of all very informative on an issue that hurts millions with not a lot of attention towards the issue. I saw a lot of my peers struggle with depression so being able to look at the signs was really insightful.

This was very interesting to look at, especially since depression is seen among so many individuals I know. I was surprised to see that there is a higher prevalence of depression in females compared to males. I thought it was the other way around. It is important that we are well educated on depression, so that we find the right treatment options. Although I know there are many people against medication for it, I definitely think it’s a good option to consider for those dealing with depression since it has to do with a chemical imbalance in our bodies that we may not be able to control on our own.

I think this is a great way to spread awareness, It is a cool change to see such a visual example on a website full of articles! I was still able to learn something new. I had no idea women were more prevalent to have depression! This was great work, Brianna! Thank you for spreading and bringing awareness to such an important mental illness.

Hi Brianna! I really loved reading this article! I loved how it was so different from others that we see on this website and kind of gave a refreshing look on how we can give information. Additionally, this is such an awesome way to spread awareness. It blew my mind that over 12% of teens between 12 and 17 have depression and I don’t think that is talked about enough.

First of all, I love the format of your article and how it looks like a newspaper. Almost like it should be hung around schools! Depression is much more common nowadays than it has ever been. I love how you put the statistics, the symptoms, and the medications because putting all of this, can really help someone in the future just reading this. I love how you added “How to know before it is too late,” because it is true. I wish a lot of people knew how or when to get help before it was too late for them. Great work!

I have never seen a infographic on this website before so this is actually pretty cool and very informative. I think this did a very good job on showing where depression usually resides and how it’s usually treated and diagnosed. I also liked how you showed the symptoms and what they mean so that was pretty cool. I think the people that have depression or the results you showed aren’t probably never going to be correct due to a lot of people like to hide there depression.
