A new study suggests that many young people could reap long-term benefits from psychological counseling. Ian Goodyer, a professor at the department of psychiatry at the University of Cambridge in England, said depression can seriously impair people's lives, and in many cases begins during their teenage years. If we can tackle it early on, evidence suggests we can reduce the chances of severe depression returning.

According to background material provided in a university news release, about 70 percent of adolescents with depression benefit in the short term from psychological treatments. The study authors noted that how these patients fare in the long term is unclear.
