“Depression can be very common in children and adolescents, and oftentimes it is missed because we don’t think that children and adolescents suffer from depression,” South Central Behavioral Health psychiatrist Areeba Zamar, MD, said.
It is important to recognize the signs of depression in children and adolescents. These signs include irritability, loss of interest or change in habits such as sleep or appetite.
