childhood depression and Implications for the Classroom From the January2002 Education newsletter. There's another hidden disability
http://www.pbrookes.com/email/archive/january02/January02ED3.htm

Extractions: 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 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.
Drug Treatment Of Childhood Depression [Jul 1996; 29-7]

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: May 8, 1998 will be the Childhood Depression Awareness Day, also called Green Ribbon Day. NAMI is proud to be a co-sponsor of this event. The day will call attention to the rising rates of depression among children and adolescents. The National Institute of Mental Health is currently studying the prevalence of depression among the young; current estimates are that one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents suffer from depression. It is clear that the majority of childhood depressions are neither recognized nor treated. For information on childhood or teenage depression, call

Extractions: Meredith Alexander, News Service (650) 725-0224; e-mail mfa@stanford.edu 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.

childhood depression Checklist can help diagnose symptoms By Dr.Madhurani Khare The Medical Center at Princeton Sunday, Sept.

Extractions: 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. 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.

Extractions: PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION Objectives To conduct a clinical trial of two fundamentally different, but equally well established, forms of psychotherapy interventions undertaken by skilled psychotherapists, appropriately trained and supervised with 96 young adolescents, aged 10-14, with DSM IV diagnosed Major 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.

Extractions: This article originally appeared in the March-April 2002 issue of the Children's Advocate , published by Action Alliance for Children. Rosa Warder became concerned when her 13-year-old son "stopped doing just about everything." 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 dobut now, he said, I dont know to everything," she says. She brought her son in to a family therapist, who recommended anti-depressants as well as therapy. "Dramatic changes"

http://www.mhafc.org/cd.htm

Extractions: One in every 33 children may have clinical depression at any given time. Shockingly, up to 66% of these young people are not getting any help for their condition, despite the fact that depression is a leading cause of suicide. 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.

Extractions: 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. Its not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Children and teens with clinical depression cannot simply snap out of it.
