Depression in children -- Diagnosis;
Abstract
Affective disorders in children were not recognized by professional clinicians until the beginning of the twentieth century. It was 1960 before a major textbook of psychiatry included a chapter on childhood depression (Cytryn & McKnew, 1979). To many, the idea of a child being depressed is contrary to images of childhood as a happy, carefree time (Lasko, 1986). Yet, children do show unhappy feelings in many different ways as they mature from infancy to adolescence (Epanchin, 1987). It has been estimated that 20% of the school-age population have some symptoms of depression at some time (Epstein & Cullinan, 1986).
