Depression and the Initiation of Alcohol and Other Drug Use among Youths
Aged 12 to 17
This report showed that in 2005 2.2 million youths experienced a major
depressive episode in the past year. For these estimates from the National
Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), a major depressive episode is
defined as a period of two weeks or longer during which there is depressed
mood or loss of interest or pleasure and at least four other symptoms
that reflect a change in functioning, such as problems with sleep, eating,
energy, concentration and self-image. Youths who faced depression in
the past year were twice as likely as those who did not have depression
to take their first drink or use drugs for the first time, according
to a new report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA).
