Childhood Depression

What Is Depression?

Depression is a serious health problem that affects people of all ages, including children and adolescents. It is the persistent experience of a sad or irritable mood and the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. These feelings are accompanied by a range of additional symptoms affecting appetite and sleep, activity level and concentration, and feelings of self-worth.

Clinical depression is more than just “feeling blue” or having a bad day. And it's different from the feelings of grief or sorrow that might follow a major loss, such as a death in the family. It’s not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Children and teens with clinical depression cannot simply “snap out of it.”

Depression is a form of mental illness that affects the whole body — it impacts the way one feels, thinks and acts. If left untreated, depression can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug use, and even suicide.

Know The Signs.


Persistent sadness and hopelessness.
Withdrawal from friends and activities once enjoyed.
Increased irritability or agitation.
Missed school or poor school performance.
Changes in eating and sleeping habits (e.g. significant weight loss or insomnia).
Indecision, lack of concentration or forgetfulness.
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt.
Frequent physical complaints such as headaches and stomachaches.
Lack of enthusiasm or motivation.
Low energy and chronic fatigue.
Drug and/or alcohol abuse.
Recurring thoughts of death or suicide

What Can Parents/Adults Do?

If parents or other adults in a young person's life suspect a problem with depression, they should:
Know the warning signs of depression and note how long problems have been going on, how often they occur, and how severe they seem.
See a mental health professional or the child's doctor for evaluation and diagnosis.
Get accurate information from libraries, hotlines and other sources.
Ask questions about treatments and services.
Talk to other families or find a family network organization.
It is important for people who have questions about, or are not satisfied with, the mental health care they receive to discuss their concerns with the provider, ask for more information and seek help from other sources.

Help is Available

Depression is treatable. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for children with depression. Children who exhibit symptoms of depression should be referred to and evaluated by a mental health professional who specializes in treating children and adolescents. The diagnostic evaluation may include psychological testing, laboratory tests and consultation with other specialists. A comprehensive treatment plan may include psychotherapy, ongoing evaluation and monitoring, and in some cases, psychiatric medication. Optimally, this plan is developed with the family, and whenever possible, the child or adolescent is involved in treatment decisions.

I really hope this is a joke.
I am so sick of people thinking that boys don't cry. Boys do cry. It is a natural way to relieve emotions, even for men. Sometimes, all someone needs is a good cry.
If your son cries ALL the time, something might actually be wrong psychologically or physically. If he actually does cry ALL the time, take him to a psychologist or doctor of some kind, and find out what is wrong with him. Better yet, before you take him to the doctor, try and find out what is wrong with him yourself first. Find out what is bothering him.
Please, change your viewpoint on boys not crying. It is actually healthy to cry sometimes.

People are the way they are. There is nothing wrong with a man that cries. I encourage my son to cry if he feels like it and not to fight his emotions just because he is a male. That is so stupid. Men need to show their emotions more. I cannot even put into words how wrong I think it is to teach a boy that ha is weak just because he cries. You are ruining a very sensitive soul. You will lower his self-esteem, and his self-worth. Just leave him alone about it and let him be who he is, not who you want him to be.

Buy the book the power of your subconscious mind. Let me read it and ponder on it. It's all in the mind. If he thinks he is weak then he is. It's how we think of ourselves. Encouraging him will help.

Well first of if he is old then you should probably talk to him go out with him. take him to play some kind of sport. But if he is young then probably he is going to change sooner or later
