Abstract	Adolescence in India is marked by heightened vulnerabilities to concerns related to mental health with depression playing an important role as a contributing factor. Recent years have seen an increase in the incidence of depression in Indian adolescents. Despite this the major causes of causes of depression still remain unidentified. The present article aims to provide a detailed examination of the possible risk factors that are becoming increasingly significant in the Indian setting. The primary purpose of the paper is to offer an in -depth understanding of the factors that commonly lead to mental health problems in contemporary Indian youth. It is believed that the article would help create an understanding and awareness among parents, teachers and policy makers about the pressures and challenges youth faces so that relevant interventions can be made at different levels.
