Project Topic
My clinical Scholarly project focuses on the prevalence of depression among adolescents in the American society.
This explores the issue of adolescents’ depression in American society, highlighting its impact on well-being, academic performance, social connections, and the risk of substance misuse or suicidal ideation. The study emphasizes the need for specialized therapies aligned with the preferences of today's tech-savvy and socially aware youth (Dally, 2021). The incidence and prevalence of adolescent depression present a worrisome trend, emphasizing the need for urgent intervention by use of some specialized app features.
Mobile Health App Feature
In addition to seeing a therapist, the patient can benefit from using the reset-O mobile medical application. According to Waltz (2019), this is a prescription-only app that is targeted to individuals struggling with depression. The application uses features of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to enable patients to recognize situations that cause behavioral and emotional responses which in turn trigger substance use and suicide ideation.
Platforms To Use App
It is intended for patients who speak English as the primary language, who have access to Android/iOS smartphones or tablets and know how to use smartphone applications. Users are required to upload data frequently and thus must have reliable internet access. Being a prescription-only app, one must first obtain a prescription from his/her clinician after which the patient is contacted by a patient care official from Reset Connect™ (Pear Therapeutics, Inc.) the developers of the app (Waltz, 2019). The patient care official then guides a patient through downloading the app from either Google Play Store or Apple App Store and provides an access code to unlock the app. One must have an access code to use this app.
Managing Depression with an O-Mobil Medical App
Upon setting up the app, a patient interacts with the product and answers questions about his/her hunger, mood, loneliness, and cravings. The information is conveyed to the supervising clinician who helps reinforce physician-patient interaction. The patient can compare weekly milestones. The app also features modules that a patient must complete. These modules use text, video, and audio to teach patients what to do when faced with various scenarios related to mental health condition. When a patient completes a module, he/she receives rewards which act as incentives to continue using the tool (Waltz, 2019).

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of adolescents’ depression in American society, highlighting its impact on well-being, academic performance, social connections, and the risk of substance misuse or suicidal ideation. Depression is a complex mood disorder that affects all age groups and has long-term effects, contributing to increased healthcare consumption and decreased productivity in adulthood. Contemporary stressors like academic pressures, social media, and societal expectations have led to alarming increases in depression rates among teenagers. The study highlights the need for specialized therapies tailored to the preferences and challenges of contemporary teenagers, including guided meditation, aroma therapy, and relaxation therapy with an app feature. The historical and societal perspectives surrounding adolescent depression highlight the pervasive issue of stigma, leading to underreporting and undertreatment. The study emphasizes the need for specialized therapies aligned with the preferences of today's tech-savvy and socially aware youth. The incidence and prevalence of adolescent depression, particularly among girls, present a worrisome trend, emphasizing the need for urgent intervention. The economic burden of adolescent depression extends beyond immediate treatment costs, impacting productivity, income, and healthcare consumption. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) play a crucial role in addressing adolescent depression, contributing to improved access to mental health care, higher patient satisfaction, and adherence to treatment strategies. The PICOT question, focusing on therapies combining traditional approaches with cutting-edge technology, demonstrates a planned and thorough approach to tackling adolescent depression. The findings have far-reaching implications for clinical practice and future research, urging a paradigm shift in the approach to adolescent mental health.
The Prevalence of Depression Among Adolescents in The American Society
Depression is a mood disorder leading to persistent feelings of sadness and the loss of interest. It is also considered as a group of conditions characterized by the increased or reduced individual’s mood. The condition is common in all age groups and because of its tremendous impact on individuals and society, adolescent depression is a critical health issue that requires attention (Colizzi et al., 2020). Depression in teens is more than just a passing mood disturbance; it is a complex mental health issue that has a substantial impact on their general well-being. This therapeutic issue is critical since it can have long-term effects, such as impairing academic performance, and social connections, and even raising the risk of substance misuse or suicide ideation. Addressing adolescent depression is important for social health as well as individual well-being. Adolescents suffering from depression frequently continue the burden into adulthood, contributing to greater healthcare consumption and lower productivity. The ripple effect on families, schools, and communities emphasizes the societal influence. Depression is extremely common among teens (World Health Organization, 2021). Depression rates have risen alarmingly in recent years, with teenagers facing unprecedented stressors such as scholastic obligations, social media, and societal expectations. Understanding the context of this prevalence is critical for developing effective therapies suited to the unique issues that adolescents confront today.
The therapies under consideration – guided meditation, aroma therapy, and relaxation therapy via an app feature – were chosen for their ability to address the multidimensional nature of adolescent depression. These solutions provide a comprehensive approach that incorporates psychological, sensory, and technical components (Hamdani et al., 2022). Guided meditation and fragrance therapy engage the senses, fostering calm, while the app component makes these interventions more accessible to youth in the digital age.
Background and Significance/Problem Statement
The clinical problem's context immerses us in the complex terrain of adolescent depression, presenting a disorder that goes beyond its basic features. This mental health issue is profoundly embedded in historical and societal settings that impact teenage experiences (Rikard-Bell et al., 2022). Mental health issues, particularly depression, have been plagued by stigma throughout history, resulting in widespread underreporting and undertreatment of this condition among teenagers. The shadow of societal criticism has placed a veil over these young people's challenges, impeding their access to the care and support they desperately require. For today's teens, societal expectations, along with academic obligations, produce a crucible of stressors. Sometimes family issues such as parents’ separation and divorce affect teenagers psychologically and may lead them to depression. The constant quest for success, which is commonly measured by scholastic achievements and conformity to societal norms, places enormous pressure on the shoulders of young people. Furthermore, the pervasiveness of social media has added a new dimension to adolescents’ life, resulting in virtual environments that can both unite and isolate (Snukis, 2022). Cyberbullying, continual comparison enabled by social platforms, and crafted images of supposedly perfect lives all contribute to a complicated web of issues that adolescents face daily.
Due to the inadequacies of conventional healthcare methods in responding to adolescent depression, the need for specialized therapies becomes clear. Despite tremendous advances in mental health care, there are still gaps in our understanding of the best effective interventions, especially when considering the changing panorama of difficulties confronting today's teenagers (Rikard-Bell et al., 2022). Traditional treatment approaches, while useful, may not fully correspond with this generation's choices and demands. There is a misalignment between traditional therapy conventions and the dynamic, tech-savvy, and socially aware nature of today's teenagers.
The problem statement encapsulates the present healthcare framework's inadequacy in responding to adolescent depression. The gaps in evidence regarding effective interventions make a compelling rationale for further research into alternative and novel techniques. It is not simply a call for additional treatments, but rather an acknowledgment that these programs must be targeted to address the unique issues that adolescents face today (Bhana et al., 2021). The necessity for the study stems from the knowledge that the options provided may not be adequately aligned with the nuanced demands and preferences of today's adolescent population. The backdrop and issue statement, in essence, highlight the complexities of adolescent depression, weaving together historical stigma, cultural pressures, and the deficiencies of existing therapy paradigms. The call for study is a cry for a paradigm shift, asking us to investigate interventions that resonate with today's teenagers' lived experiences, ensuring that our response to their mental health needs is both effective and empathic.
Perspectives, Incidences, and Prevalences
The historical viewpoint sheds light on changing society's views regarding mental health, demonstrating a steady shift highlighted by growing understanding. Despite this encouraging trend, the ongoing stigma associated with mental health concerns remains a substantial impediment to the formation of sufficient support systems for teenagers. Social changes, such as rapid technological advancements and adjustments in societal expectations, have added to the complexity, increasing the prevalence of depression among teens. The incidence and prevalence of adolescent depression are at an all-time high, giving a bleak picture of the mental health landscape among this age group. This growing trend emphasizes the vital importance of gaining a complete understanding of the contributing causes and developing effective solutions.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major public health concern, owing to its occurrence during adolescence or even younger. Importantly, adolescent-onset depression has a recurrent course and is associated with worse outcomes than adult-onset depression. Daly's study on adolescent depression in the United States utilizing the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) finds an alarming rise (Wilson & Dumornay, 2022). Adolescent depression rates increased from 8.1% to 15.8% between 2009 and 2019, a significant increase when compared to earlier times. Adolescents are experiencing increased stress, anxiety, sadness, self-harm, and suicidality, highlighting the critical need for assistance. Descriptive research, which employs regular cross-sectional examinations in large, nationally representative samples of teenagers such as the NSDUH and others (e.g., Monitoring the Future, Millennium Cohort Study), is critical for understanding long-term trends (Wilson & Dumornay, 2022). Daly's work not only provides descriptive data on adolescent depression rates in the 2010s, but it also raises critical issues about the rising rates and the potential effects of sex and race/ethnicity on adolescent depression.
Daly's findings show a significant increase in depression rates among girls relative to boys, exacerbating the well-known sex gap in adults. This adolescent sex difference is still a complex phenomenon with numerous potential reasons, including sex hormones, puberty, stress reaction, personality, and societal gender disparities (Daly, 2021). Furthermore, depression rates among teenagers increased across all racial/ethnic groups, with subtle variances across them. Adolescent girls and boys who identified as Black had a lower rise than their White, Hispanic, or other race/ethnicity peers. The research suggests that rates of adolescent depression varied by racial/ethnic identity, with minority adolescents being less likely to receive treatment. Despite substantial studies into these discrepancies, causal mechanisms and a complete understanding of racial/ethnic group variations in adolescent depression remain elusive.

Review of the Healthcare Costs
The economic burden of adolescent depression is significant, going beyond the immediate costs of mental health treatment. The indirect costs of this disorder extend into many aspects of life, putting strain on both individuals and their families. The financial strain on families is especially visible in the case of extended treatment, where the cumulative expenditures can skyrocket, potentially resulting in a large loss of income (Janna et al., 2021). The importance of studying healthcare expenses stems from their function as a primary determinant of the scope of the problem. Understanding the economic dimensions of adolescent depression is critical not just for healthcare stakeholders, but also for society as a whole. It sheds light on the significant impact on individuals, families, and, by extension, the healthcare system as a whole.
Adolescents’ depression has ramifications throughout homes, resulting in decreased productivity and increased healthcare consumption. Individuals suffering from depression frequently struggle to maintain optimal levels of productivity in several parts of their lives, including scholastic endeavors and work (Lu, 2019). The resulting decline in productivity might result in personal and societal economic losses. Furthermore, the increased healthcare consumption caused by adolescent depression places further strain on an already overburdened healthcare system. The need for mental health care is increasing, which could strain existing resources and infrastructure (Lu, 2019). As a result, effective interventions are required not just to address the well-being of affected individuals, but also to relieve the demand on healthcare resources.
Recognizing the significant link between mental health and economic wealth emphasizes the need to address the economic components of adolescent depression. The financial burden on families goes beyond the direct costs of therapy, incorporating broader societal ramifications such as lower educational attainment and fewer professional chances. Untreated adolescent depression ripples across the socioeconomic fabric, influencing not only individual households but also the collective progress of communities (Lu, 2019). Understanding the complicated links between mental health and economic stability reveals that investing in mental health therapies is an investment in society's economic resilience. Mitigating the economic repercussions of adolescent depression requires a holistic approach that recognizes the far-reaching consequences that go beyond the immediate area of mental health and fosters an environment in which adolescents can realize their educational and career potential. Therefore, an assessment of healthcare costs related to adolescent depression reveals a complicated problem with consequences that reach far beyond the clinical sphere. The economic burden is not limited to the immediate costs of mental health treatment; it affects many elements of life, including productivity, income, and healthcare consumption. Recognizing the economic ramifications emphasizes the importance of effective therapies, not only to address immediate mental health difficulties, but also to reduce the broader economic effects for individuals, families, and the healthcare system as a whole.
Evidence of Support for the APRN Role
A large amount of data supports Advanced Practice Registered Nurses' (APRNs') key role in effectively addressing the complicated issue of adolescent depression. A profusion of studies constantly shows that treatments led by APRNs result in beneficial outcomes. These outcomes range from improved access to mental health care to higher levels of patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment strategies among teenagers suffering from depression. The documented improvement in access to mental health care is one notable component of the evidence supporting the APRN role. Adolescents suffering from depression frequently face challenges in receiving timely and effective care (Kumar et al., 2020). With their advanced training and skill set, APRNs have helped to overcome these barriers by offering comprehensive mental health treatments. Their capacity to provide a range of care that goes beyond the usual biological approach is critical in dealing with the multidimensional character of adolescent depression.
The increased satisfaction indicated by patients receiving APRN-led treatment emphasizes the importance of this function. Patient satisfaction is an important statistic for analyzing not just the quality of care but also the effectiveness of interventions (Flaubert et al., 2021). APRNs develop a therapeutic alliance with adolescents through their holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of biological, psychological, and environmental components that contribute to depression. This patient-centered approach meets the specific requirements of teenagers and contributes to their overall satisfaction with the care they get.
Guidelines from major health organizations emphasize the necessity of incorporating APRNs into teen depression mental health care teams. These principles serve
