I narrowed my topic down to depression in teens.The question I am proposing is how can depression be affected by gender?Gender differences in depression appear to be at their greatest during reproductive years.The group I am going to look at will be 12-17 year old students.I want to focus on abnormal psychology which deals with abnormal behavior such as depression.
