Depression in Children
 

Depressive disorders have affected approximately 10–15% of children/teens in the United States at some point during their lives.

 

Some common signs of depression in children are:

 

  • Has your child lost interest in his/her usual activities?
  • Do you see a change in your child's behavior?
  • Is your child sad or irritable?
  • Has your child stopped socializing with friends?
  • Has there been a sudden drop in your child's grades?
  • Is your child sleeping more/less often?
  • Has your child's eating habits changed?
  • Has he/she experienced weight loss/gain?

 

Depression in children is very damaging when left untreated, so don't wait and hope that the symptoms will go away. Early intervention by a qualified psychologist is key to prevent deterioration in the child's functioning.
