41. What Is Childhood Depression, Really? : Raising Depression-Free Children
    Thirty years ago, it was common belief that only the most mentally disorderedchildren experienced depression. This perception changed some in the 1980s.

    Extractions: Book Description But, there is hope. Researchers have documented the reality of depression prevention in fields such as Resiliency Parenting, where the research actually suggests that depression in children can be prevented. Hockey suggests that reducing the anticipated numbers of depressed adults means we must begin with children who can be taught from a very young age how to live hopefully and optimistically. Depression is not, solely, a matter of genetics and biology; there are very specific things that parents can do to reduce their child's risk of depression or relapse. Hockey describes preventive interventions based on research-backed techniques and clinical works. Along with case histories, she shares her own parenting failures and successes; her blend of personal experience and professional know-how will inspire readers to take action on behalf of their children. For parents of infants through twelve year-olds, Raising Depression Free Children offers: CHAPTER 2

    Extractions: HealthScoutNews Reporter THURSDAY, May 8 (HealthScoutNews) The divorce had been hard on the 6-year-old, an only child. "He was living with his mother and missed his father terribly," recalls Constance Wood, a Houston psychologist who specializes in the treatment of children and families. In school, his teacher noticed he wasn't playing with other children and was becoming withdrawn. He wasn't able to concentrate on his schoolwork, although he had been a good student. "At home, he wasn't eating well and kept saying negative things about himself," Wood adds. His mother was concerned, but had no idea how bad things were until the day she found him with a rope around his neck. He looked up and told her he was going to kill himself. The case history, a true one, is extreme, but it depicts the very real problem of childhood depression, says Wood, who treated the little boy and reports he is now doing well. Depression may be considered a grown-up disorder, but actually it affects up to 2.5 percent of children and up to 8.3 percent of teens in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health.

They say that clinical depression is one psychological disorder that most people already have some ideas about, since we all have been sad. A "rich full mood of sadness"- as Winnicott describes normal depressive phenomena, is nothing to be avoided. Although Winnicott was writing about children's depressive experiences, it also applies to adults. Perhaps a sad mood should even be embraced from time to time! But clinical depressive experiences are far from normal. Several different symptoms are noteworthy and they must persist for a substantial period of time, as well as significantly interfere with work or other important functions. People who are clinically effected stop enjoying things, and typically just have trouble facing each day. Children can get depressed clinically as well, however it doesn't always look like adult depression. Additionally, childhood depression is noteworthy for some age specific features, including acting out. Many children who get picked on routinely can be depressed. You might be surprised at the relatively high number of children who are suicidal and whose parents may not even suspect it. The best (in our opinion) measure of childhood depression is by Dr.David Berndt and Charles Kaiser, however there are other good measures as well. More can be found on this in the pages on

    Extractions: Educators can help fight childhood depression by Dr. Steve Arnold According to the U.S. Surgeon General, between 10 and 15 percent of children and adolescents display symptoms of depression. That means an elementary teacher with a class of 22 may have two children suffering from depression, and a secondary teacher with six classes of 30 could teach 27 students dealing with depression. That is more than some private-practice psychologists see each day. We have only to look at the front page of the newspaper to realize the cause of childhood depression. Real families are connected to each of the wrecks, bombings, earthquakes, floods, shootings, diseases and divorces that happen everyday. Unfortunately, adults often want to deny the impact of these events on students’ lives. We tend to want to say “Oh, she’s over that now. That was last year,” but brain research has taught us that nothing is forgotten. All events are stored in the brain and impact our daily lives. Look at how the movie “Saving Private Ryan” caused thousands of Word War II veterans to remember the feelings and events they had buried for the past 50 years. Considering that, it’s easy to see how a fifth-grader could still be influenced by events that are less than 10 or 11 years old.

    Extractions: Contrary to popular belief, children are not immune to experiencing clinical depression. In fact, studies have found as many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents may be experiencing clinical depression. Seven to 14 percent of children will experience significant depression by the age of 15. Once a child has experienced depression, he or she is at risk of suffering again from depression within the next five years. Additionally, the rate of suicide for 5 to 24 year olds has nearly tripled from 1960, making suicide the leading cause of death among college age youth. What are some signs of childhood depression?

These are clues to alert parents when further evaluation should be considered, and are used in perspective to all else occurring with a child. Children are a part of a family and cannot be assessed without knowledge of how the child relates in the family, and how family issues relate to the child. Each child is an individual. These guidelines are only references or clues to alert to possible potential problems. The guidelines need to encompass the special circumstances of each child and their family. If after reading these guidelines, you are concerned for a child's welfare, Please seek professional evaluation from a pediatrician, primary care physician or a child/adolescent psychiatrist. If you have specific questions related to child/adolescent depression, send your questions. We are unable to individually treat a specific situation, but can offer professional, educational information that hopefully will guide you to help.

As Childhood Depression Awareness Day nears ­ on Tuesday, May 8 ­ the Stanford team also seeks to find ways to prevent this devastating disorder. "Depression is becoming a major epidemic," said psychology Professor Ian Gotlib, whose lab is the site of the studies. The rates of depression among all age groups have moved steadily upward, Stanford researchers said. Depression has been estimated to cost the United States at least $44 billion in lost days of work, medical costs and increased accidents. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will be the second-most burdensome disease in the world. It currently is ranked fifth. And in an alarming trend, depression is emerging among younger and younger children, according to Saskia Traill, a graduate student in psychology who works with Gotlib.

The studies have entailed examining the course of depression in school age children and following them up into adulthood, the characteristics of the family and the environment of such children, and the impact of a major life stress (onset of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) on children’s adjustment and the likelihood of depression developing. Observations gathered during these projects have led to two further initiatives: a) the design and testing of a new developmentally based psychotherapy for chronic depression in childhood and b) a hypotheses based Program Project of research on risk for early onset depression. The ongoing Program Project of research is now described. Study 1 uses molecular genetic technology to examine genes that may be implicated in COD and related psychophysiologic phenotypes (defined by Study 2), and as a function of various behavioral phenotypes.

    Extractions: There's another hidden disability in the classroom: depression. In fact depression can be so hidden that often parents don't know about it, says Stuart Copans, a child psychiatrist from Brattleboro, VT. Dr. Copans notes that suicide can occur even among pre-adolescents. Often, in those situations, parents were not even aware that their child was depressed. Because of the large amount of time teachers spend with students in their classroom, teachers can play an important role identifying and helping students struggling with the condition. First of all, Dr. Copans emphasizes, teachers help parents and caregivers realize that children can be depressed. They can spot symptoms of possible depression in their students and help them get an evaluation. Signs of depression in children and adolescents include: Irritability In addition to these outward signs, children who have recently moved or whose parents have divorced are at increased risk for depression. (For this reason, Dr. Copans recommends that schools establish special programs to help children who are new to the school or whose parents are divorcing.) If teachers or school administrators suspect that a student is depressed, they should discuss their concerns with the parents or caregivers. The next step is to refer the student to the school counselor, if one exists, or to an outside professional for evaluation and treatment. Teachers should also keep in touch with the physician or therapist who is treating the child in order to provide feedback on how the child is doing.

Current books relating to these topics will be available at deeply discounted prices through our bookstore. Expect operations no later than mid January. I have decided to start the new year with a series on understanding the psychological complaints and symptoms of children. It can be very confusing trying to figure out whether your child's "problem behavior" is serious or just a passing phase. For example, I frequently have requests for consultations from parents of "symptomatic" children, but after evaluation of the child find there is no serious psychological problem. Did you know that over 90% of children will develop a phobia, one third suffer night terrors, 10% of five year old boys will be bed wetters (Good & Nelson, 1995). How can a parent know when such "problems" require an evaluation or treatment? Hopefully, after you have read this entire series you will know how to decipher the mixture of symptoms, complaints, and behaviors your children present, and separate the serious from the not-so-serious.

For many years, children who showed signs of what would be called depression in adults suffered quietly while they were regarded as shy, lazy, or disobedient. The symptoms might be attributed to an adjustment disorder (a temporary response to recent stress), attention deficit disorder, or conflicts with their parents, teachers, classmates, and playmates. Bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder can also occur in children, although it is not common. Children and adolescents are generally not elated during the manic phase of the cycle. They are more likely to be angry, irritable, and restless, with paranoid thoughts. Adolescents may have delusions, hallucinations, and other symptoms that create a potential for confusion with schizophrenia.
