              DEALING WITH CHILD AND TEENAGE DEPRESSION

With Depression in children increasing some 300% over the last decade, all of us who work with kids need to understand this deadly disease. Do you know the signs of depression? Are you aware that depression can appear as both “up” AND “down” behavior in children? We will discuss not only how to spot it, but ways to handle it as a parent, teacher, or professional. Also learn how the DSM-IVR describes the most commonly diagnosed depressive disorders in children and teens.
