[*]But (Qualifying) - But they aren’t optional; we have to ask them, every time.
[*]Furthermore (Adding) - Furthermore, when 18- to 25-year-olds were surveyed, there was again a significant increase in the prevalence of depression, but only among those 18 to 20
[*]In particular (Highlighting) - He raised concerns, in particular, about the impact of electronic media on adolescents.
[*]So (Result) - So it appears to be increasing in the population from 12 to 20.
[*]And (Adding) - Johns Hopkins and the first author on the study, said that there was no real increase from 2005 to 2011, but then the rise began, and got more pronounced in 2012 and 2013.
[*]Also (Adding) - They also include withdrawal from friends and family, a loss of interest in activities that had been important, and changes in eating and sleeping patterns, as well as some pretty nonspecific signs like lack of energy, trouble concentrating and unexplained aches and pains.
[*]Simply (Reformulation) - “It could be depression, could be drugs, could be simply that their schoolwork is too hard,” he said.
[*]The First (Sequencing) - “The first step is sit and have a conversation with your child — what’s going on — the next step could be talk with teachers or bring your child to a counselor or psychiatrist.”
[*]Next (Sequencing) - “The first step is sit and have a conversation with your child — what’s going on — the next step could be talk with teachers or bring your child to a counselor or psychiatrist.”
[*]Though (Cause of effect) - And though this increase in the prevalence of depression was not explained by substance abuse, it’s important to remember that substance abuse and depression have always gone together in adolescents; those who report depression are more likely to have used drugs or alcohol.

PART III

In regards to World Mental Health Day earlier this week, a student named Jake, admittedly, describes his incapacitating school-related anxiety that began in his junior year of high school and reached a breaking point when was 17, “I refused to go to school and curled up on the floor.” For that reason, Jake spent time at a residential treatment facility in New Hampshire. However, Jake got through his senior year of high school and into college, where his anxiety has largely disappeared. On the other hand, Dr. Robert Epstein is the author of the book Teen 2.0. Epstein suggests that much teenage angst results from the “infantilization of teens” as they are confined and enclosed for much of their adolescence, and their actions and thoughts are controlled by others. “Driven by evolutionary imperatives established thousands of years ago, the main need a teenager has is to become productive and independent,” Epstein writes. “After puberty, if we pretend teens are still children, they will be unable to meet their most fundamental needs, causing some teens great distress.” Furthermore, enclosing young people in compulsory schooling environments for most of their teenage years severely restricts their freedom and challenges their evolutionary adaptability. In the case of Jake, his anxiety lessened as he left high school and went on to college, where he gained more freedom and more personal control over his schedule, his classes, and his social life. Designed to be fully immersed in real-world experiences and productive work, dictating their own thoughts and actions, and surrounded by adult mentors, teenagers are instead cut-off and controlled. In plain english, freedom may be the best medicine.
