Research by the Center for Reproductive Health states that 1:3 of teenagers in Indonesia having mental disorders, including depression. One of the non-pharmacological treatments for depression in adolescents is expressive writing therapy. This scientific paper aims to apply expressive writing therapy as a nursing intervention for adolescents with depression in the Garuda Health Center working area. The method of this scientific paper is a case study of 2 patients referring to the nursing process with Beck Depression Inventory-II for measuring patient depression before and after implementing therapy. After conducting the assessment, the nursing diagnoses that emerged were risk of suicide, hallucinations, chronic low self-esteem, ineffective coping, and disturbed sleep patterns. Expressive writing therapy is carried out as an intervention for 3 consecutive days, 1x/day with a duration of 15-20 minutes. The results showed that there was a decrease in depression scores in both patients. Expressive writing therapy has been proven to be effective in reducing depression in adolescents.
