Summary:

Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects

how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable.
Depression causes feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities you once
enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can
decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Depression symptoms can be:

• Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
• Changes in appetite, weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting
• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
• Loss of energy or increased fatigue
• Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing,
handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be
severe enough to be observable by others)
• Feeling worthless or guilty
• Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions
• Thoughts of death or suicide

The scenario of the documentary video is going to be at psychological clinic

where some teenagers will describe their internal issues.

First scene:

Phycologist: Depression is a mental health condition that makes you to feel

sad or have a low mood for at least 2 weeks. The signs of depression in young
people involve changes in the way they think, feel or behave, and physical
changes. It also can cause you problems with your work, study or
relationships. Some people with depression also have thoughts of suicide or
self-harm. This is the reason why it is crucial to manage this kind of situations
before it’s too late.

Second scene:

Phycologist: Here we are now with my first patient, his name is Tyler and he
has depression because of his substance abuse. So, tell us Tyler how are
felling now?

Tyler: Doctor honestly, I have been feeling so down lately, I’m sick of
depending on drugs, but I just can’t quit smoking, it’s the only thing that makes
feel good.

Phycologist: Tyler and why do you only feel good when you smoke?

Tyler: Because when I’m sober nothing makes me happy, I’m angry and tired
all the time, I feel like I fall in to a deep sadness, and nothing makes sense
for me anymore.

Phycologist: What was reason and when you started smoking?

Tyler: I’ve been smoking since I was 15 years old, I remember doing that to
forget about all my problems, I tried to quit it a few times but it was stronger
than me.

 Phycologist: How this have affected your life?

Tyler: Well, I hardly go to school, I failed all my exams, I can’t concentrate

anymore, because I’m always thinking about consuming drugs.

Phycologist: Tyler I know how you’re feeling, and it’s a hard situation, but
nothing is impossible. You should go to rehab, and look for something that
keeps you busy, like maybe some sport or a hobby.

Tyler: Thank you doctor for your advices, this is what I needed it, because I
feel lonely and you made feel companied.

Third scene:

Phycologist: Now we are with Kim, she is a teen that unfortunately suffers
family issues. Kim what kind of attitudes bothers you about your family?

Kim: In many situations they don’t respect my feelings, they don’t care what I
think and I don’t get the attention I want from them. Also, they think they are
always right and what only matters their opinion.

Phycologist: And how do you feel about that?

Kim: I am very sad, because I feel so lonely all the time, I don’t have anyone
to talk about my problems, and wish that my parents listen to me just for once,
because in my house I feel like a weirdo and I have felt that all this situation
is my fault.

Phycologist: What would change about your environment?

7
 Kim: I wish my parents would change their attitude, that they would be more
understanding and empathetic. I wish they were more loving and paid more
attention to me. Doctor what do you think is the best solution in this situation?

Psychologist: It is important to set boundaries because this will affect you in

many aspects of your life, and it is also relevant that they learn to validate
your emotions and your feelings.

Fourth scene:

Phycologist: This girl sit next to me is Rebeca she is going to tell us about her
situation with her low self-esteem. Rebeca do you actually care about what
others think of you?

Rebeca: yes, the only thing that matters to me is that people like me, I don't
care how I perceive myself, I just want the approval of others.

Phycologist: How have you been feeling these days?

Rebeca: I feel terrible, I hate seeing myself at the mirror, and I hate my
thoughts but I can’t help thinking all these awful things, also I don’t feel
comfortable with my body.

Phycologist: Why do you only care about your body and not your personality?

Rebeca: Because everyone sees that, nobody cares about my personality, or

what I think, they only see if I look good or bad.

Phycologist: The problem here is that your mind is completely consumed by

all these negatives thoughts, but none of that is real, it’s going to be a hard
process, I’m not going to lie to you. To heal this, you can start telling yourself

8
 positive things, for example, tomorrow you are going to look at the mirror, and
you are going to say something like “my hair looks good today”, and a near
future you will a new person.

Fifth scene:

Phycologist: Jessie is a teenager that suffered sexual harassment. What’s the

first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a stalker?

Jessie: So much fear, I always feel terrified and worried about what could
happen, I get so anxious just to think about it.

Phycologist: What was your first experience?

Jessie: My first experience was when a stalker followed me to my house, I

had never felt that feeling of fear, danger, anxiety and worry. I just needed
someone that made me feel calm and safe.

Phycologist: How did you manage that situation?

Jessie: I called 911, because my mother was out of town she was at a
business trip, so I was alone and that was the solution that came to my mind.
I’m so glad this couldn’t do anything because the police came just on time,
but after that day, I started feeling anxious all the time, sad, and I felt in to a
deep depression.
