Depression in Children

This WisdomCard managed by: Elisa Carter

Identifying depression in children is not always easy. Children manifest depression in very different ways, but some of the commonest features tend to reflect those of adults, especially after the age of 8. Poor performance at school, getting into fights, losing interest in hobbies or friends and complaining of headache, stomach aches, and tiredness are some of the common symptoms in children.
