those of us who are parents work very hard every day to try to protect our children. but depression is something that

avoid and the parents are struggling to address that issue. >> news4 joins us with a look at why the problem is growing. >> reporter: a newly released study supports what many people have suspected for years, more teens are dealing with depression. psychiatrists dr. joshua whiner is here to talk about the causes of this increase and what can be done. thanks for being here. how much more prevalent is teen depression than it was a decade ago? >> this looked at depression rates from 2005 to 2015 and the rates have gone up 50%. >> wow. >> so now 1 in 8 teenagers in this country is depressed. pretty significant number. >> really is. do we know what's causing this increase in depression rates? >> so we don't so i think we have pretty good ideas or i have my own suspensions. i think one of the driving forces here is social media. so if you look at like how much is like changed from 2005 to

2015 are now big portion of that has been social media. and teenagers they are so focused on friends and how they are perceived and trying to figure out their own identity. >> fear of missing out. >> fear of missing out. and i think social media can just really drive that home for people, particularly if they are already vulnerable to that. they are lacking in a little bit of self-confidence. imagine how hard it's got to be if you are seeing all your friends getting together and you are left out. that kind of stuff you might not have known about in the past so it wouldn't upset you. now it does. >> how do parents deal with this? what are ways to handle the situation to help your kids go through something like this? >> you know, it's just sometimes not a great answer to all these things, right. i think you just talk to them about how they need to try to rely on themselves for things. that kids can be mean sometimes. sometimes you are not going to get invited to things. you have to try to bolster your kid up as much as you can. you want to make sure you have a

your kid so that way you can have that conversation. because they might not feel comfortable talking to you about some of those things. but you know some of the stuff is just rough, you no he, not a whole lot you can do. >> being a teenager is rough these days. what other factors? what about diet? >> so i think a couple other things, sleep is factor, less sleep. and diet is a major factor as well. when we look at diet there is it a lot more processed food in today's diet. we also have nonfood that's been processed using modified foods where they put pesticides on things. and that pesticide can impact your gut health and there is all the data now coming up showing that the gut health and the mic micro organize gissms affect ho feel. i suspect overtime we'll see some of these things we are talking about here. >> we have a campaign changing minds

of mental health illness. does this mean teens are seeking more treatment? >> at least according to studies the answer is no on a country basis. now what i think, just my own experience, i think people around here are, because i think when you look at the d.c. metro area largely looking at educated population. and i think where people are more educated, the stigma for mental illness is lower, and people are more willing to seek help. and you know as i've mentioned before, i'll have kids who answer their cell phones when at the are in session with me, hold on, i have to call you back, i'm with my shrink or something like that. kind of funny but at the same time goes to show these kids aren't as ashamed as maybe they would have been 10, 15 years ago. but when you look at the country as a whole the answer is no they are not seeking more help. and this is scary because untreated depression, particularly for teens, carries a high risk of suicide. >> they need to seek the help. thanks so much as always. >> my pleasre

scientists have tried editing a gene inside a body. this is the big deal. because it can permanently change a person's dna to try and cure a disease. california scientists did the procedure on 44-year-old man who has hunter syndrome. the genetic disorder can cause enlarged internal organs, developmental delays, and abnormal bone size or shape. during the procedure the scientists cut open the dna, inserted a gene, and stitched the dna back up, all through an iv. the altered dna should essentially delete the disease from the man's system. doctors say it will take a few months to learn if successful, but if true this could be huge. >> it sounds pretty incredible. thank you. this year sex iist man alive has voices on the show. the voice blake shelton, hints all week about who would be named.
