When 'depression' is a subject matter in any gathering, children are usually excused, but studies have found that first-time depression in children is occurring at younger ages in alarming rate than previously. Of importance, children having conduct disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, clinical anxiety, or having cognitive challenge are more prone to sliding into depression. Moreso, infants and preschoolers do not have the ability to express feelings of sadness in apt language.This book is a must-have toolkit that explains the practical interventions for the assessment, intervention and management of depression in children particularly since recognizing preschool depression can be challenging. Of note, when examining disorders amongst children such as depression, parents/guardians often fail to spontaneously report symptoms (eg- changes in play, social interest or sleep) or may unwittingly accommodate these changes as being normal. Timeously addressing childhood depression cannot be termed much ado about nothing, to avert mental problems and disabilities; an apt clich here being- prevention is better than cure. Developed from decades of working with the most challenging cases of childhood depression; find out: -Depressive symptoms in children-Solutions to depression in children- Pointers for helping children escape the cycle of anxiety
