Depression in childhood

More about the book

Depression in children presents with varied symptoms influenced by age and the nature of the disorder. Younger children often show social and anxious symptoms, while older children experience a broader range of classic depressive symptoms. As they approach preadolescence, symptoms become more structured but may be obscured by puberty-related changes. This monograph serves as a comprehensive resource for general practitioners, psychologists, teachers, and parents, aiming to enhance understanding and management of childhood depression across different developmental stages.
