Is there a Child Depression Test?
There is not one specific test that will determine if your child is depressed. At NPS we conduct a structured interview in the form of an intake of both parents or caretakers. Sometimes we will interview a child if necessary. If your child is experiencing any of the above listed symptoms persistently or the symptoms are interfering with their life at home or school, call us to set up an appointment. Based on the information collected, it can be determined what is causing your child’s symptoms and a plan can be made to intervene.
Sometimes, we only need to coach and meet with the parents to facilitate any changes needed in your child’s life. Other times, play therapy, which is designed specifically to help children in counseling is warranted and we will meet with your child and you alone and sometimes together. We always include our parents in the counseling process.
