Depression in teens can often be caused by traumatic events or circumstances early in life that they couldn't fully process at the time. When they begin to struggle with their mental health, they often don't know where to turn, and a spiral ensues. In today's episode, Mark Gregston speaks to two Heartlight teens who battle depression for very different reasons but are both on the pathway toward healing. Listen in for these powerful interviews!
