산업화된 나라들에서 청소년기에 우울과 자살이 급격하게 증가하고 여성이 남성에 비해 우울증 발병률이 높아진다는 일관된 결과가 나타난다. 청소년기 우울은 불안과 섭식장애 및 주의력 결핍과 파괴성 행동장애와 함께 나타나는 경향이 높고 자살과 밀접하게 관련된다. 청소년의 우울과 자살에 관한 기초자료를 개관하고 제어이론의 입장에서 우울에 대한 기존의 심리학적 설명이론들을 통합해서 조망해 보려 하였다. 최근 수정된 제어이론의 입장에서 ‘우울과 불안과의 관계’ ‘우울과 자살과의 관계’ ‘청소년기에 우울이 급증하는 이유’ ‘청소년기부터 여성이 남성에 비해 우울을 많이 경험하는 이유’ 및 ‘한국 청소년의 우울 및 자살과 관련되는 문화적 요인’ 등에 대해 논의했다.
Recently, rates of depression and suicide of adolescents in industrialized countries, including Korea, were rapidly increasing. Adolescent depression was often associated with anxiety disorder, eating disorder, attention deficits hyperactivity/disruptive behavior disorder. and suicidal attempts. Epidemiological data about depression and suicide of adolescents are reviewed. Psychological theories of depression and suicide are integrated in terms of a control theory interpretation. Issues about 'relationships between depression and anxiety' 'relationships between depression and suicide' 'the reason why rates of depression and suicide are rapidly increasing at adolescence' 'the reason why the different prevalence of depression between female and male is conspicuous at adolescence' and 'Korean culture associated with depression and suicide of adolescents' are discussed in terms of the revised control theory interpretation.
