@hopefulParadise19, thank you for sharing the above article. It is a great overview of childhood depression - how often it occurs, what are the risk factors, how the symptoms look like and what are the possible treatments.
This is a topic which is often overlooked, because of the persistent belief that children are simply mischievous and moody. It can still be mistaken for the teenage angst, because of the lack of education and promoting mental health in the society. And the early detection is vital in this case, to be able to give a proper and effective help in recovering from the disorder.
