I just wondered if kids can get depression. I'm only 28 but I've got 5 kids and their dad recently left with another woman and left me to look after the kids by myself. They seem to be doing OK except for my 9 year old daughter, she seems really sad all the time and she's always crying at night in her bed, but she won't tell me what's wrong. She won't go out to play anymore, she just stays in her room most of the time and she's being really horrible to her brothers and sisters - she's usually nice to them but she keeps shouting at them and pushing them around.
I'm worried that she might be depressed or something, but can kids get depression? Or is this just a phase of some sort? It's been going on for about 3 weeks now.
