    The scale [recognizing depression in teen boys] focuses on emotion suppression, anger and aggression; drug and alcohol use; somatic symptoms, such as concerns about sleep and sex; and risk-taking. Participants rate various statements, such as how often they bottle up negative feelings, have difficulty managing anger or use drugs for temporary relief.

    Interesting that boys tend to externalize their depression and apparently express it indirectly.
