Depression
Depression in kids and teens is more common than many realize. Learn the signs and explore how timely support can make a lasting difference.
Depression in children affects mood, motivation, and daily life. It may show up as persistent sadness, irritability, low energy, or withdrawal from activities and friends. It’s not a phase that passes on its own—it needs compassion and professional care. With early recognition and support, children can rediscover hope, connection, and emotional strength.
Children with depression may seem sad or irritable, stop enjoying things they used to love, or avoid friends and family. They might show changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels. Others may struggle with low self-esteem, concentration, or even self-harming behaviors. When these signs persist, it’s important to seek help—early support can change the path forward.
Supporting emotional healing with professional care
Psychologists, therapists and counselors offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can explore difficult feelings, understand the roots of their distress, and begin to rebuild confidence. With tailored emotional tools and steady guidance, specialists help children move toward balance, self-worth, and renewed connection with themselves and others.
