"There's a world of information online about adolescent depression, but distinguishing good advice from bad can be daunting. Expert guidance is here. Dr. Gansner provides trustworthy information and practical recommendations for how you can help your struggling teen."--Christopher R. Martell, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst"This is the only book you need if you are worried that your teenager is depressed. Dr. Gansner's approach is evidence based and relatable. She helps you understand adolescent depression and gives you a roadmap for navigating the massive amount of online mental health data. This is the first book to unpack the complexities of how the internet and social media are impacting depression in teens, both positively and negatively. For example, Dr. Gansner explains that the internet can help teens to better understand their depression, but can also encourage them to embrace inaccurate, even exotic self-diagnoses to feel more connected to online communities."--Jodi Gold, MD, author of Screen-Smart Parenting-
