Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Adolescent Depression: Outside/In is an innovative book for adolescents, parents, and clinical professionals. Keena, a licensed addictions and mental health counselor, takes her readers inside the depressed adolescent’s imagination, and insecurities.
Using a combination of narrative, poetry, and prose, Ms. Keena has taken her personal experiences with depression and has woven a masterful work. Through her own experiences, Ms. Keena has shown a way to understand the sense of lost helplessness of depressed adolescents. She then shows us the path towards hope and recovery.
This book will help adolescents, parents, and clinicians understand the difficulties and challenges that can arise as the treatable illness of depression begins to emerge in adolescence.

Ms. Keena's book offers a unique and empathetic aid to anyone struggling with adolescent depression--as caretaker or patient. For therapist, parent or the depressed adolescent herself, it provides both left-brained and right-brained perspectives on this often hereditary disease. By alternating between clinical observations from her current counseling work, and creative writings from her own teen years, Keena gives us a window into the mind of the clinically depressed, at times offering some gems of poetic expression as well as tools for understanding. She also inspires us by showing how she survived the sometimes fatal disease in order to live a productive and happy adulthood.
