Screening for depressive symptoms in sexually active adolescents, particularly boys, may identify those at risk for STDs and suggest that adolescent preventive care needs to include regular, comprehensive assessments of both mental health and STD.
Abstract
Screening for depressive symptoms in sexually active adolescents, particularly boys, may identify those at risk for STDs. In addition, adolescents who are diagnosed as having STDs should be monitored for depression. These findings suggest that adolescent preventive care needs to include regular, comprehensive assessments of both mental health and STD.
