Book Riot's Powerful and Authentic Teen Books About Depression

"The following list of teen books about depression—fiction and nonfiction—explore both the generalized illness, as well as bipolar disorder. These titles may feature a main character who is struggling with the illness or they may be about how a loved one's struggle impacts their life. All titles, though, are well-reviewed and conscious of presenting a serious illness in a way that's realistic and sensitive. Without doubt, it's through YA books about depression that many young readers, as well as the adults in their lives, might better understand the struggle."
