    This infographic is so amazing and should be talked about more. The amount of information and detail that was put into this article is impressive. The research speaks for itself and it’s something that i feel like some people don’t pay attention to enough in other generations today. I feel like this was all well put and easy to read, the realness was easy to pay attention to and i appreciate this being done. It got straight to the point and was over all great to read. Thank you for writing about this important topic and congratulations on your award.

    Congratulations on the award Brianna! Depression is not something that is openly talked about as much as it should be but progress is being done to expand mental health. Your infographic does a great job of describing depression and symptoms but it is important to remember depression can look different on everyone. It is important to bring awareness to the topic so people who need help can find it.

    This is a very good and important infographic. It was very easy to follow along and I appreciate that it was not drowning in words. Very straight to the point and concise. You did a job well done!

    It’s such a huge number of depressed people ratio but in treatment among all mentioned, family counseling, which is the best way because that’s the only place where patient can be helped and supported in all aspects.

    Thank you so much for bringing light to an issue that I feel is not talked about enough. Infographics like these should be shared on the ground or scale because of the outreach that he can have. Maybe even translate it into other languages, I feel it could be of great use to Hispanic communities where mental health for adolescents is not addressed at all if ever. Depression in teens I feel like is a taboo topic, and I appreciate your effort and it being a conversation we are now more open to.

    The color scheme sets the theme for the infographic. It clearly displays a story for the reader to follow and it is nicely displayed. It addresses crucial mental health issues among young teens. It is sad to know that this has become a common issue and you see many teens losing their lives. Great infographic overall Briana!

    This topic is important and could not be more timely. Mental illness among teens has only risen within the last several years, particularly after the corona virus outbreak, and subsequent lockdowns. Many teens suffer from depression and anxiety and do not know how to deal with it or communicate to someone what they are experiencing. Educating others that people in this particular age range do feel symptoms of depression, is vital to starting the journey toward greater access to resources concerning mental health. I think the infographic was easy to follow and understand. The only thing I would change would potentially be the color scheme, as it was slightly too bright and does not go as effectively with the grey background as a different color might.

    Hello, Brianna! Your infographic is excellent, and I like all the ways it provides for recognizing depression. I really like how you used a variety of strategies to help the depressed person live. Also, I believe it was crucial that you included statistics in addition to phycological data on the population. This is a great way to raise awareness on such a significant mental condition such as depression. I had no clue that women are more likely to experience depression. I’m pleased this post was written since although teen depression is generally acknowledged, it is not widely understood. This article’s material is visually appealing since it is straightforward. It’s also highly beneficial for anyone who does or may have depression because they may utilize the options mentioned to diagnose themselves and get advice from the therapy alternatives. Wonderful job!

    This was a great infographic because it clearly provided a good amount of information in a way that I could understand. This infographic took almost no time to read, and I felt that I learned a great deal from it. The small graphics were an excellent touch to the infographic and helped display the information given. Overall, I thought this graphic was excellent, and the only this I would change is maybe the color, but otherwise, I felt this graphic was perfectly executed.

    Hi Brianna! Congratulations on your reward! I love how you used bright colors in this infographic because depression is usually seen as a dark subject. Your design of this infographic helps to spread your message that depression in teens is apparent, and that there is hope through knowledge. Thank you for sharing this information to try and help others stay in the know!
