2.2 Adolescents
In English adolescents are called adolescent, derived
from the word adolescent which means growing
toward maturity. Adolescents is a period of transition
between childhood and adulthood. At this time,
adolescents experience the development of achieving
physical, mental, social and emotional maturity and
the emotional state of adolescents is still unstable
because it is closely related to hormonal conditions.
Hurlock (1980), divides adolescents into two parts,
namely early adolescents and late adolescents. Early
adolescents lasts approximately from the age of 13-16
years and the late adolescents starts from the age of
17-21 year(Holmbeck, 2018; Weis, 2017).
Adolescents is a period of developmental
transition between childhood and adulthood which
includes biological, cognitive and social emotional
changes. In English teenagers are called adolescent,
derived from the word adolescent which means
growing toward maturity. Adolescence is a period
of transition between childhood and adulthood. At
this time, adolescents experience the development
of achieving physical, mental, social and emotional
maturity and the emotional state of adolescents is
still unstable because it is closely related to hormonal
conditions. Emotional emotions dominate and
control themselves from a realistic mind (Rosenberg,
2015; Coleman, 2006).
2.3 Depression
Depression is a period of disruption of human
function related to natural feelings of sadness and
accompanying symptoms, including changes in sleep
patterns and appetite, psychomotor, concentration,
anhedonia, fatigue, hopelessness and helplessness,
and suicide. Depression is likened to flu, because
depression can occur in all circles, including
adolescents (Kaplan et al., 2010; Amelia et al., 2018).
There are 3 levels of depression :
• Mild Depression
At this level, the symptoms usually affect the
daily activities of people who experience it such
as being less interested in doing things that are
usually done, easily angry, the motivation to
work becomes less. This depression is not too
disturbing, but must be treated to prevent the
condition from getting worse.
• Middle Depression (Moderate Depression)
At this level, this depression causes a person to
experience difficulties in terms of social, work
and domestic activities. In moderate depression,
usually a person becomes less confident so
he or she is less motivated to do something.
Often a person starts to worry about things that
are unnecessary, more sensitive, and vulnerable
to feelings of hurt or offense in personal
relationships.
• Severe Depression
At this level, this depression causes a person
to experience severe suffering such as feeling
a loss of self-esteem or feeling useless and
guilty, and wanting to commit suicide. A person
who is severely depressed cannot manage his
emotions so that he easily experiences feelings of
despair. People with severe depression may also
suffer from delusions, hallucinations or stupor
depressive.
Anxiety can be divided according to the source
of reason, namely: Anxiety that comes from the
environment, called objective anxiety that is anxiety
caused by the environment and does not need
treatment, because it is one of the factors ”self-care”.
Anxiety in the body is called vital anxiety, namely
anxiety that originates in the body and functions as
a definition mechanism that protects the individual.
Awareness of consciousness is called conscience
anxiety, that is, individuals have an awareness of
morality that will protect individuals against acts that
are immoral (Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995).
Problems experienced by adolescents in fulfilling
the tasks of adolescent development, namely:
• Personal problems, namely problems related to
situations and conditions in the home, school,
physical condition, appearance, emotions, social
adjustment, duties, and values.
• Typical teen problems, namely problems that
arise due to unclear status in adolescents, such
as the problem of achieving independence,
misunderstanding, the existence of greater rights
and fewer obligations imposed by parents.
