Depression is a common and serious psychological disorder, and its core symptoms include self-hatred, loneliness and pessimism. In recent years, adolescents have gradually become a high prevalence of depression, which not only seriously impedes the healthy growth of adolescents, but also brings about far-reaching impacts on families and society. In view of this, this paper systematically reviewed the domestic and foreign research literature on adolescent depression in the past ten years, focusing on the influencing factors of adolescent depression and its intervention methods, and carried out a comparative analysis, and found that, in terms of influencing factors, both domestic and foreign studies show that adolescent depression is mainly affected by environmental and genetic factors, but foreign studies focus on the association between social media overuse and depression and genetic-biological mechanisms, while domestic studies focus more on localized factors and the association between social media overuse and depression; in terms of intervention methods, although both medication and psychological interventions are mainstream, foreign studies tend to favor innovative and comprehensive means, while domestic studies favor traditional psychological therapies. Finally, although significant progress has been made in the research on adolescent depression at home and abroad, there are still deficiencies, and future research on adolescent depression should further explore the effects of different interventions and their mechanisms, and pay more attention to multidimensional and comprehensive intervention strategies.
