Childhood Depression Does Exist
If you think your child may be depressed, don't be afraid to talk to them and try to get them help. There is no shame in depression or having a child that is depressed. Depression is not the parents fault.
Common Signs of Depression: Irritability, anger, social withdrawal, crying, change in sleep cycle, change in eating habits, sensitivity to rejection, vocal outbursts, etc. These are just a few signs, for more help or information please speak to a professional.
There are screenings as well as detailed information available online. Some websites I find useful include:
