Depression Symptoms in Teenage Girls. Although depression strikes both boys and girls, girls are more than twice as likely as boys to be diagnosed with a mood disorder by the age of 15. According to WebMD, one in 10 girls are depressed. In one study, depression among girls was found to have caused stronger feelings of guilt, self-blame, failure, and even negative body image. Teen girls are also more susceptible to health problems as a result of depression than boys.
