Can Children Really Have Depression?

Yes. Childhood depression is different from the normal "blues" and everyday emotions that children go through as they develop. Just because a child seems sad doesn't necessarily mean they have significant depression.

But if the symptoms listed below become persistent or interfere with normal social activities, interests, schoolwork, or family life, it may mean they have a depressive condition. Keep in mind that while depression is a serious issue, it’s also a treatable one.
