“…In this study, there was a significant relationship between depression and suicidal ideation. This finding is in congruence with the previous study by Windfuhr et al 30 in UK, Nguyen et al 31 in Asian, and Kandel et al 32 in Columbia who reported that depressive symptoms are the congruence with the previous study by Windfuhr et al 30 in UK, Nguyen et al 31 in Asian, and Kandel et al 32 in Columbia who reported that depressive symptoms are the strongest predictors of suicidal ideation. This is not surprising because suicidal ideation is one of the features of major depression.…”

Background: Depression is a mood disorder characterised by loss of interest and enjoyment (anhedonia), and reduced energy leading to increased fatigability and diminished activity. Depression is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. It has a profound effect on adolescents because those who experience depression at an early age often struggle with depression throughout their lives, and in many cases, early onset of depression predicts more severe depression during adulthood. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and associated factors among secondary school adolescents in Gombe, Nigeria. Methodology: Three hundred and ninety-five adolescents aged 13- 18 years were selected using a multistage sampling method. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was used to assess depression and a structured questionnaire was used to obtain the sociodemographic characteristics of the subjects. Results: The mean age of subjects was 16.2±1.4 years. The prevalence of depression was 37.7% (142/377). Subjects from low socio-economic class (χ2= 30.601, p< 0.001). Subjects with non-parental caregivers were 4.8 times more likely to be depressed than those that had parental caregivers (OR 4.760, CI 1.882-12.04). Depression was significantly higher among subjects from public schools (χ2= 22.698, p< 0.001). Also, the majority of the subjects who failed the exams preceding the study had depression as compared to those that passed the exams (χ2=5.389, p= 0.030). Conclusion: The burden of depression is high among adolescent secondary school students in Gombe. Psychosocial stressors such as low social class, non-parental care, parental divorce and poor academic performance are significant determinants of depression among adolescents. Early detection of depression is recommended as it has a strong relationship with suicidal ideation among adolescents.

“…In this study, the prevalence of suicide attempts during the previous 12 months was 32.1% (33.3% for the males and 31.3% for the females), which was much higher than in previous studies based on the Mongolian GSHS of 2010 (8.7%) [ 10 ] and 2013 (10%) [ 11 ]. In addition, this result was also higher than the 12-month prevalence of suicide attempts in China (9.4%) [ 30 ], the Philippines (15.34%) [ 31 ], Vietnam (21.2%) [ 32 ], or Thailand (13.3%) [ 33 ], but lower than in the Solomon Islands (36.9%) [ 34 ].…”

Attempting suicide is an important risk factor that can lead to suicide death. The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of suicide attempts and to identify the gender-specific predictors of suicide among adolescents in Mongolia. We analyzed data from the 2019 Mongolian Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS) conducted nationwide among 13–18-year-old students. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to assess the correlates of suicide attempts. Overall, 32.1% of the adolescents reported to have had suicide attempts. Multivariable analysis showed a significant association in the total sample of suicide attempts with lack of close friends, anxiety, injury and violence, smoking and alcohol drinking, and sexual intercourse. Male suicide attempters were less likely to have close friends and more likely to have injuries, been physically attacked, been bullied, smoke, drink alcohol, and have had sexual intercourse. Within the female subgroup, anxiety, injury and violence, smoking and alcohol drinking significantly increased the odds of reporting suicide attempts. Increase of the student’s age by one year decreased the odds ratio of suicide attempts. Nearly one in three students had had a suicide attempt. Several factors, including mental distress, violence, and risky behaviors were found to be associated with suicide attempts. These can aid in designing intervention strategies for preventing suicidal behaviors among adolescents.

“…In a collectivistic culture, the individual exists in a matrix of relationships; therefore, both risk and protective factors are closely related to the quality of an individual’s relationship rather than one’s own ability to overcome challenges and achieve personal goals (Stewart et al., 2004). In this review, the included studies from Middle East, Africa, and Asia highlighted cohabitation with parents, having large number of siblings, a single‐parent family, loss of parents, family abuse, family conflict, poor family function, harsh parenting, and unsatisfactory peer relationships as significant risk factors for depression (Fatiregun & Kumapayi, 2013; Latiff, Tajik, Ibrahim, Abubakar, & Ali, 2016; Lin et al., 2008; Nalugya‐Sserunjogi et al., 2016; Nguyen Thi Khanh et al., 2020; Shaikh, Doke, & Gothankar, 2018). On the contrary, these relationship‐based risk factors were rarely or not reported in the included studies from Europe, North America, and Oceania.…”

Objective Adolescence is a formative and turbulent phase where physiological, psychosocial, and cognitive changes leave adolescents vulnerable to psychological disorders. Given the lack of reviews that consolidate and compare worldwide prevalence of depression among adolescents, this review aims to examine the global prevalence of major depressive disorders, dysthymia, and elevated depressive symptoms among adolescents. Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted. Six databases were searched for studies published from 2001 to December 2020. Seventy‐two studies were included. Subgroup analysis were performed for year of publication, geographical region, gender, and assessment tools used. Results The global point prevalence rate of elevated self‐reported depressive symptoms from 2001 to 2020 was 34% (95% CI: 0.30–0.38). Point prevalence for major depressive disorder (MDD) and dysthymia was 8% (95% CI: 0.02–0.13) and 4% (95% CI: 0.01–0.07), respectively. The pooled one‐year prevalence and lifetime prevalence for MDD were 8% (95% CI: 0.05–0.12) and 19% (95% CI: 0.12–0.26). Point prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms among adolescents increased from 24% (95% CI: 0.19–0.28) between 2001 and 2010 to 37% (95% CI: 0.32–0.42) between 2011 and 2020. The Middle East, Africa, and Asia have the highest prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms, and female adolescents were reported to have a higher prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms than male adolescents. Conclusion Besides targeting those with existing clinical depression, research and policies should also focus on educational and supportive mitigation efforts to curb depressive symptoms among adolescents before escalation. The findings encourage future research to develop more gender‐specific and culturally relevant intervention programmes. Practitioner points 34% of adolescents globally, aged 10‐19 years, are at risk of developing clinical depression, which exceeds the reported estimates of individuals aged 18 to 25 years. Practitioners are highly encouraged to prioritize depression screening and intervention implementation for individuals in this age group. Female adolescents and adolescents from Middle East, Africa, and Asia have the highest risk of developing depression. This urges practitioners and researchers to develop more gender‐specific and culturally relevant intervention programmes.
