At 16, Sarah had been battling teenage depression<\/strong> for over two years. Her once vibrant personality had dulled, replaced by a constant feeling of fatigue and hopelessness. Despite being raised in a loving family and having plenty of friends, Sarah got little relief from traditional therapies and medications. Then she got into contact with bioterugvoer<\/strong> practitioner and expert Margret Margr\u00e9tard\u00f3ttir.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Sarah: <\/strong>It feels like being trapped in a deep, dark hole with no way out. Every day is a struggle just to get out of bed. I felt constantly tired, even though I wasn’t doing much. Even simple things like deciding what clothes to wear just felt so overwhelming.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sarah:<\/strong> It affected every aspect of my life. I used to love painting, and hanging out with my friends. I lost interest in everything I once enjoyed, and it felt like I was just going through the motions. School became a nightmare. I couldn’t concentrate, and my grades started slipping. I didn’t want to be around people anymore, and I often felt like a burden. Even when I was with my family, I felt isolated and alone. There was this invisible wall between me and the rest of the world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Margret<\/strong>: The causes of teenage depression are usually multifold. Teenagers are at a unique developmental stage. They are not only dealing with the pressures of school, social and personal relationships, but also the physical and hormonal changes of puberty.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
