Hi Paul, Yes, acutane may cause depression. But I doubt it is affecting you now, since you stopped taking it one year ago. Many teens have problems with depression (all age groups do, really). It does NOT mean you are weak. It is perfectly normal to feel depressed and in despair once in a while thruout life. Those of us who are smart (as I see you are) seek help from a caring professional to assist us thru. I am sure you have many people in your life who care about you and love you. Please don't seek a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Life will get better, just hang in there and talk to someone who can help. I am sending best wishes that you feel better soon and wish I could do more. Jill
