School Library Journal Review
Gr 7-12-- Hales defines depression, and then gives an overview of historical recognition and treatment, the types, the causes, and the current treatment. Chapters are devoted to depression in young people and suicide. Suggestions for self-help are offered, and warnings that signify the need for professional help are emphasized. The text is simply written and clearly illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs. Addresses and phone numbers of depression clinics and suicide prevention centers are arranged by state. The bibliography contains adult sources. Depression is discussed in books about suicide such as John Chiles' Teenage Depression and Suicide (Chelsea, 1986) or in general works about mental illness, but this seems to be the first that covers this subject for the teenage audience. --Martha Gordon, South Salem Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
Fiction: NF Photographs. The subjects in these encyclopedias are timely and close concerns of teenagers. Beyond a mere recital of history, causes, and effects, these volumes include literary allusion, case studies, and valuable places to turn for additional information and help. The books are important additions to library and personal collections. Glossary, index. Horn Rating: Recommended, with minor flaws. Reviewed by: jm (c) Copyright 2010.

Booklist Review
Although Hales offers less medical perspective on the subject than does Greenberg (see boxed review, Emotional Illness in the Family) and only a few words on "how family and friends can help," her overview is more inviting in format and written in simpler terms. The liberally illustrated text includes historical background, along with information on types, causes, and treatments of depression. As is characteristic of books in the Encyclopedia of Health series, there is a discussion of manifestations of the illness in teenagers, and in this volume, a section on the teenage suicide/depression connection. Though very general in approach, the text supplies enough detail for students in search of introductory material. Appended are resource lists, a glossary, a listing of further readings, and an index. Sources are partially identified. Gr. 7-10. --Stephanie Zvirin
