Guest: Thomas House, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester  Have you ever forced yourself to go to a party or social event when you really weren’t in the mood for it, and then found that afterwards you were glad you did because you felt better? This effect might have real consequences for teenagers, particularly those with depressive symptoms. Researchers at the University of Manchester have found that teens with healthy moods are likely to spread these positive moods to their friends.
