Neural change and maturation is at its peak during adolescence (Gogtay et al. 2004; Paus 2010).

Normal developmental transitions in adolescence mark a sensitive period that by their very nature increase the risk for the activation of specific processes involved in the onset, persistence, and recurrence of depressive episodes (Andersen and Teicher 2008; Davey et al. 2008; Rudolph et al. 2006).

Neurotransmitters are changing at a rapid rate during the transition from childhood to adolescence. Developmental studies have shown that neurotransmitter systems typically model a pattern of overproduction and pruning, such that changes in expression typically peak during late childhood/early adolescence and are then reduced to reach adult levels. According to several developmental studies, this outline of overproduction and reverting purging is believed to procure efficiency of the brain and also represents a state of vulnerability to environmental influences (Spear 2000b; Paus et al. 2008; Andersen 2003; Maughan et al. 2013).
