Misinterpreted, misunderstood, and mislabeled, depression in childhood is often hiding in plain sight. Because it is often missed by providers, depression in children is under-identified, under-reported, and, sadly, often left untreated. This workshop will clarify what depression may look like in children, particularly young children and will offer suggestions for how providers can help.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define depression in childhood and understand associated behaviors
- Understand how the impact of childhood depression may impede a child’s functioning
- Discuss ways to support children in successfully coping with depressions and associated behavior
