Starting at puberty, female adolescents are nearly three-times more likely to develop internalizing disorders, like depression, while male adolescents are two-times more likely to develop externalizing disorders, like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This divergence between the sexes during puberty suggests sex-specific pathways of risk and differential effects of sex hormones. The purpose of this research is to determine: 1) sex-specific neural and endocrine features of the pubertal transition that may mediate sex differences in adolescent mood disorders, and 2) the neurophysiological basis of susceptibility to hormone change during puberty.

| CES-DC Score Over Time | The 20-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) will be the primary measure of severity of depressive symptoms. Each item is rated 0 (not at all) to 3 (a lot), with items 4, 8, 12, and 16 being reversed scored. The total CES-DC score may range from 0-60. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. Scores of 15 or greater are suggestive of significant depressive symptoms. The overall CES-DC score will be assessed at the end of each week in the study. | up to Week 8 |
