Depression is a major mental health problem among adolescents worldwide. It is a mood disorder that affects adolescents, their families, and society. This article aims to analyze and create the guidelines to prevent depression by strengthening the resilience of adolescents who are extremely and emotionally sensitive. Additionally, they are at high risk for depression and suicidal behavior. Prevention of depression in adolescents is; therefore, urgent and necessary. At present, the prevention of depression in adolescents is performed among three groups: normal adolescents, high-risk adolescents and adolescents with depression. There are several different approaches to preventing depression in adolescents. However, an effective way to prevent depression in adolescents is to strengthen resilience. This is a significant factor that is negatively related to depression in adolescents. Resilience has three sub-components: I have, I am, and I can. The sub-components of resilience relate to five positive factors: interpersonal relationship, executive functions, sense of coherence, mindfulness, and problem-solving skills. These guidelines were developed from the analysis and synthesis of relevant knowledge. This will be the fundamental knowledge for preventing the onset of depression or reducing the severity of depression. It is a challenging strategy for preventing future adolescent depression.
