Depression is the third largest psychological disorder which is estimated to occur in 5% of the world's population (WHO, 2013). In a month about 4-5 teenagers come to consult. Adolescents who came to consult with clinical psychologists ranged in age from 17-25 years with varied educational backgrounds, and the adolescents who consulted the most were aged 19-22 years.
