Given the lack of reviews that consolidate and compare worldwide prevalence of depression among adolescents, this review aims to examine the global prevalence of major depressive disorders, dysthymia, and elevated depressive symptoms among adolescents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review and meta\u2010analysis was conducted.

Point prevalence for major depressive disorder (MDD) and dysthymia was 8% (95% CI: 0.02\u20130.13) and 4% (95% CI: 0.01\u20130.07), respectively. The pooled one\u2010year prevalence and lifetime prevalence for MDD were 8% (95% CI: 0.05\u20130.12) and 19% (95% CI: 0.12\u20130.26). Point prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms among adolescents increased from 24% (95% CI: 0.19\u20130.28) between 2001 and 2010 to 37% (95% CI: 0.32\u20130.42) between 2011 and 2020. The Middle East, Africa, and Asia have the highest prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms, and female adolescents were reported to have a higher prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms than male adolescents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Besides targeting those with existing clinical depression, research and policies should also focus on educational and supportive mitigation efforts to curb depressive symptoms among adolescents before escalation.
