What are the Signs of Childhood Depression?
Depression can happen to children, but they usually don’t possess the emotional language or know-how to articulate that they are suffering from it. Most often it’s up to parents and caretakers to look for signs of childhood depression and determine if and when a child needs help. The depressed child may be very different than the depressed adult or teenager. However, there are useful checklists that can help parents be aware of what symptoms would most suggest this condition.
