Core Tip	Adolescent depressive disorder (DDs) severity is independently correlated with the low-frequency (LF): High-frequency (HF) ratio (reflecting autonomic nervous imbalance), anxiety symptoms, and various socio-familial factors. Per capita monthly household income is a protective factor. Integrating the LF:HF ratio with psychosocial factors can facilitate early identification, severity stratification, and precise intervention for adolescent DDs.
