Lynette J. Hoy, NCC, LCPC April 28 Conumdrum Communications Millions of American children experience persistent sadness and hopelessness. They may withdraw from friends and family, perform poorly in school, act out in anger or stop participating in activities they once enjoyed. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) is trying to get the word out that these children may be suffering from a serious illness called depression. May 4, 1999, marks the third annual Childhood Depression Awareness Day (also known as Green Ribbon Day) which will be supported in communities throughout the country. Promoted around the theme "What's the Matter?" Childhood Depression Awareness Day is designed to educate parents, teachers and other caregivers about the widespread occurrence of depression among American youth. As many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents may suffer from depression, according to statistics released by the U.S. Center for Mental Health Services. Moreover, if left untreated, the results of depression can be fatal, including suicide the leading cause of death

Childhood Depression and Implications for the Classroom From the January 2002 Education newsletter. There's another hidden disability in the classroom: depression. In fact depression can be so hidden that often parents don't know about it, says Stuart Copans, a child psychiatrist from Brattleboro, VT. Dr. Copans notes that suicide can occur even among pre-adolescents. Often, in those situations, parents were not even aware that their child was depressed. Because of the large amount of time teachers spend with students in their classroom, teachers can play an important role identifying and helping students struggling with the condition. First of all, Dr. Copans emphasizes, teachers help parents and caregivers realize that children can be depressed. They can spot symptoms of possible depression in their students and help them get an evaluation. Signs of depression in children and adolescents include: Irritability Fatigue Social anxiety Sudden drop in grades In addition to these outward signs, children who have recently moved or whose parents have divorced are at increased risk for depression. (For this reason, Dr. Copans recommends that schools establish special programs to help children who are new to the school or whose parents are divorcing.) If teachers or school administrators suspect that a student is depressed, they should discuss their concerns with the parents or caregivers. The next step is to refer the student to the school counselor, if one exists, or to an outside professional for evaluation and treatment. Teachers should also keep in touch with the physician or therapist who is treating the child in order to provide feedback on how the child is doing.

Tratamiento farmacológico en la depresión infantil Antecedentes La depresión en niños y adolescentes se asocia con disfunción social, menores logros académicos y comportamientos suicidas. Generalmente está infra reconocida. La prevalencia estimada es de un 2% en niños de primaria, aumentando al 5% en adolescentes. Tradicionalmente, el tratamiento ha sido psicológico o psicoanalítico, siendo la terapia familiar la más popular en UK. Sin embargo, son tratamiento caros y algunos con un efectividad no probada. Por tanto, la atención ha vuelto hacia los fármacos antidepresivos, cuya eficacia en la depresión mayor en adultos se ha establecido en diversos ensayos. Sin embargo, no es seguro extrapolar estas pruebas a la gente joven, puesto que estos ensayos excluyen a los niños, entre quienes esta enfermedad presenta unas características epidemiológicas diferentes y pueden tener una etiología diferente. Se necesitan ensayos controlados aleatorizados (ECAs) para decidir si los antidepresivos son eficaces en la depresión infantil, puesto que las respuestas a placebo son comunes y la enfermedad suele mejorar espontáneamente, dificultando la interpretación de otro tipo de estudios. Se han realizado un número pequeño de ECAs con antidepresivos tricíclicos con una calidad metodológica variable, en los que se encuentran tendencias no significativas a favor el tratamiento. Hazell y cols [1] ha realizado recientemente una revisión sistemática y un meta-análisis de estos ensayos.

Meredith Alexander, News Service (650) 725-0224; e-mail mfa@stanford.edu Childhood Depression Awareness Day is May 8; Stanford conducts research on the subject Researchers at Stanford are fighting childhood depression with two studies aimed at helping to diagnose children at risk for the condition. As Childhood Depression Awareness Day nears ­ on Tuesday, May 8 ­ the Stanford team also seeks to find ways to prevent this devastating disorder. "Depression is becoming a major epidemic," said psychology Professor Ian Gotlib, whose lab is the site of the studies. The rates of depression among all age groups have moved steadily upward, Stanford researchers said. Depression has been estimated to cost the United States at least $44 billion in lost days of work, medical costs and increased accidents. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will be the second-most burdensome disease in the world. It currently is ranked fifth. And in an alarming trend, depression is emerging among younger and younger children, according to Saskia Traill, a graduate student in psychology who works with Gotlib.

E-MAIL REPORTER SEND LETTER TO EDITOR Childhood depression: Checklist can help diagnose symptoms By Dr. Madhurani Khare The Medical Center at Princeton Sunday, Sept. 3, 2000 Depression is not just an adult affliction. According to the child and adolescent psychiatry data, 0.9 percent of preschoolers, 1.9 percent of school age children and 4.7 percent of adolescents suffer from depression, in comparison with the adult rate of 15 percent. Depression can hit children as young as the age of 3 or 4. To give children and adolescents the help they need, it is imperative for the adults who come into contact with them to recognize the symptoms of depression. It is the general perception that depression equals persistent sadness, and while that is often the case, a depressed child may not exhibit such feelings. Irritability, anger and feelings of low self-esteem are quite common among depressed children. A younger child is quite likely to experience rapid mood changes. Other symptoms include a loss of interest in doing things that he or she once enjoyed. For example, a young child may no longer want to go to the park or play outside. An older child may opt to sit in his room instead of gathering with friends after school or participating in a favorite sport. Activity levels may change. Some children experiencing depression may become less energetic and lethargic. Others may become more energetic, even to the point of hyperactivity. While it may be hard to think of an overly energetic child as depressed, it is important to consider the change in the child's activity level as a sign that something is going on. This could also suggest a predisposition toward manic-depression.

The therapies will be individual psychotherapy (focused individual child psychodynamic psychotherapy) and family therapy ( systems integrative family therapy) Brief Description Major depression in child and adolescent clinical populations is relatively common and is a highly significant risk factor in parasuicide and suicide. There is evidence that childhood major depression is not a transitory condition. In addition, there is the risk of continuity of depression into adulthood. Further, the finding that antidepressants do not appear to be effective with children and adolescents adds impetus to psychosocial treatment research. While cognitive therapy approaches appear promising, psychodynamic psychotherapy holds the promise of more fundamental and lasting changes in childhood depression by improving the subjects capacity to resolve internal and external conflicts as they grow up. Treatments will be undertaken on an out-patient basis. The length of the treatments will be of sufficient frequency and duration for psychotherapists to consider the therapy to be of good quality but will be complemented by limits of length to ensure their exportability to wider settings than major university centers. The therapies will be supplemented by supportive therapy sessions for parents.

She recalls, "he went from being a 4.0 student, playing several sports, with lots of activities and friends [to] spending more and more time alone, being miserable. He was unwilling to get out of bed to go to school. He was also extremely irritable and began to talk about how life wasn't worth living." When she suggested activities, "Always before, there had been something else he wanted to do but now, he said, ‘I don’t know’ to everything," she says.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds and the sixth leading cause of death for 5-15 year olds. Substance abuse and addiction often manifest as depression, bipolar disorder, etc. When depression emerges early in life, it often persists, recurs and continues into adulthood and may predict severe illness in adult life. In children it can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug use, and even suicide. To prevent damage to a young person¹s academic, social, emotional, and behavioral functioning, it is imperative that their depression be diagnosed and treated early.

Depression is a serious health problem that affects people of all ages, including children and adolescents. It is the persistent experience of a sad or irritable mood and the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. These feelings are accompanied by a range of additional symptoms affecting appetite and sleep, activity level and concentration, and feelings of self-worth. Clinical depression is more than just “feeling blue” or having a bad day. And it's different from the feelings of grief or sorrow that might follow a major loss, such as a death in the family. It’s not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Children and teens with clinical depression cannot simply “snap out of it.” Depression is a form of mental illness that affects the whole body — it impacts the way one feels, thinks and acts. If left untreated, depression can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug use, and even suicide. Know The Signs.
