Can Alternative Treatments Help Manage Teen Depression?

[Urvashi]

Some families explore mindfulness, yoga, exercise, omega-3 supplements, or light therapy for depressive symptoms in teens. Evidence varies, but these approaches can complement therapy or medication. How effective are alternative treatments compared to standard care? Which combinations produce measurable improvements in mood and functioning?

I don't think alternative treatment works differently for different generations. Since alternative treatment is effective for older generation, it is also effective for younger generation.
