Symptoms Of Depression In Children Are Different From Those In Adults
By Depressed Jane | March 17, 2008
Depression is not always manifested in children as dejection and anhedonia. Depending on the age of the child, the dominant features may be weeping, irritability or defiance, as explained by Prof. Claudia Mehler-Wex and Dr. Michael Kolch of Ulm University in the new edition of Deutsches Arzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2008; 105(9): 149-55).The signs of depression in infants are often screaming, restlessness, and weeping attacks for no clear reason.
