Teens are often moody. That’s why it’s easy to miss signs if they’re actually depressed and need help. Symptoms of depression include things like avoiding hanging out with friends and family and being sad or angry. If your child shows more than a few of these signs they may have depression that warrants professional attention.
Getting help can feel daunting, but treatment can be transformative for children and adolescents struggling with depression. Early identification and treatment reduces impairment and can even prevent more serious problems later in life. To book an evaluation, please reach out to us today.
FOR CAREGIVERS
Is It ADHD or Bipolar Disorder?
Diagnosing children who may have bipolar disorder can be very difficult because there is symptom overlap with ADHD.
If you are concerned about your child, it is important to get an evaluation by a clinician who is experienced in treating these disorders.
