What are the Symptoms of Depression in Children?

 

Depression in children is often ignored or overlooked. We tell kids to stop overreacting to things when they are only trying to explain what they are going through. It is very important to give them space and make it a safe place for them. It is very important to be emotionally available for them to know the cause and try to offer the help we can. It can be caused because of anything.

 

 One situation can ruin their entire childhood by making them feel too numb to confront their emotions or leaving them too sensitive to things. This situation or circumstance might differ for each of them and cause immense pain. Sometimes, it leaves them with a scar within. The signs of depression in children can range from being secluded, silent, not very active, or any sudden behavioral change from before.
