Product Description
by Jen Tsang (Author)
During the times her daughter was crippled with severe depression, Jen Tsang learned how her child felt, what thoughts were circulating in her brain, and how dark and hopeless it could be for her. These important insights helped Tsang understand the disorder and how to best care for her daughter when she was suffering. More importantly, this information helped her avoid making things worse and keep her alive during the most difficult times. In a powerful guide that provides a candid window into a depressed child's mind, Tsang relies on her personal experiences to teach parents and carers how to accept and understand the many facets of severe depression, modify their own approach to help more than harm, and find patience during the recovery process as the child attempts to reenter society and reengage with life. While touching on difficult topics and thought patterns, Tsang includes checklists that provide trusted guidance on how to recognize the signs of depression, reassure and support a child, find awareness for a child's state of being, spot and react to self-harm, and much more. Your Child with Depression is an uplifting guide that intertwines a mother's advice with the valuable insights she learned from her daughter as she battled and recovered from severe depression.
