44. Children Today: Down In The Dumps: Dealing With Childhood Depression Dealing With childhood depression. By Ginny Hermann. There are many things that can contribute to a young child s bout with depression, says Epstein. http://childrentoday.com/resources/articles/depression.htm

Search the Site: news community diaries shop Down in the Dumps Dealing With Childhood Depression By Ginny Hermann When we think of children and depression, the picture that most likely pops into mind is that of a lonely teenager, diary in hand, languishing in the isolation of her bedroom, or we envision a misfit adolescent, sulking in a corner with only his Game Boy and comic books for company. But depression isn't just a teenage or adolescent problem. The "blues" can strike as early as kindergarten and can progress into an extremely serious illness if left untreated. According to Ellie Epstein, an employee assistance program counselor with Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Neb., childhood depression is more common than you would think. "There are many things that can contribute to a young child's bout with depression," says Epstein. "A stressful life event is usually found to be the trigger in children ages 6 through 9. Since depression has very little to do with biology at this age, the causes are usually found to be environmental, something that has occurred either inside or outside the family unit." The Effects of Tragedy Unpleasant family events – such as death, divorce, family conflict, illness or physical disability – can turn an otherwise happy-go-lucky youngster into a sad, withdrawn child.

It is estimated that 1.9% of primary school children and 4.7% of adolescents are affected by depression (Weller and Weller, 1991); the consequences of depression in this age group can include social dysfunction, academic underachievement and suicidal behavior. Within the last three decades, the recognition of a behavioral component of the primary care of children, coupled with the introduction of managed care and new psychopharmaceuticals, has changed the role of the primary care clinician (Rushton et al., 2000). Also, while reports of the efficacy and safety of antidepressants in children and adolescents are mixed (Emslie et al., 1999; Hazell et al., 1995), their use has dramatically increased in the last decade (Martin et al., 2000; Zito et al., 2000). It is still unclear, however, how childhood depression and psychiatric disorders fall within the scope of primary care. To assess the current management of childhood depression in primary care, researchers Jerry L. Rushton, M.D., and colleagues (2000) at the University of Michigan conducted a survey of general pediatricians and family physicians in North Carolina. Both groups were surveyed using identical four-page questionnaires designed to assess the patterns of use of four management strategies for childhood depression: medication, referral, counseling and watchful waiting. Adolescent medicine specialists, behavioral pediatricians and medicine-pediatrics physicians were excluded from the study. The mailed survey also gathered information on physician demographics, practice characteristics, general management approaches to depression in children, volume of pediatric patients with depressive symptoms, prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for depression, and opinions on the management of depression.

FDA Warns of Suicide Risk of Anti-Depressant Drugs for Kids and Adults See News Items, Related Commentary DEPRESSION: DANGEROUS AND OVERLOOKED Depression is dangerous. It distorts normal perceptions, causes behavior changes and can result in self-mutilation or suicide. It is not uncommon in children, but, for many reasons, it often escapes diagnosis. Depression was not even recognized as a childhood disease by the psychiatric profession until 1980. Before that time, it was commonly believed that children could not suffer from depression. What, after all, could a child in a healthy family and community environment be depressed about? DSM-IV , the “Bible” of the psychiatric profession, which identifies symptoms of mental illnesses, recognizes that children can be depressed. Nevertheless, depression is frequently overlooked as a diagnosis by the health care profession. Among possible reasons are these: The historic denia l that depression exists in children. Twenty years is not a long time. Many medical practitioners, especially those who do not specialize in mental health treatment, may not have been trained to recognize depression in children, or are prone to recognize other possibilities first when presented with a depressed child.

KIRCHNER, D.O., Lancaster General Hospital, Lancaster, Pennsylvania A patient information handout on depression in children, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 2311. J ust 40 years ago, many physicians doubted the existence of significant depressive disorders in children, primarily because they believed that children lacked the mature psychologic and cognitive structure necessary to experience these problems. However, a growing body of evidence has confirmed that children and adolescents not only experience the whole spectrum of mood disorders but also suffer from the significant morbidity and mortality associated with them. Suicide has become a growing public health concern as successive generations have shown a parallel increase of suicide and depression in the pediatric age group. Childhood depression, like the depression of adults, can encompass a spectrum of symptoms ranging from normal responses of sadness and disappointment in stressful life events to severe impairment caused by clinical depression that may or may not include evidence of mania. Epidemiology In the United States, the prevalence of major depressive disorder is approximately 1 percent of preschoolers, 2 percent of school-aged children and 5 to 8 percent of adolescents.

The McGill psychology professor has just completed research in which he examined whether psychological and environmental factors can make children vulnerable to developing depression. Psychology professor John Abela holding a Jornada 690 Photo: Owen Egan "Children are currently experiencing pessimism, sadness and depression at an unprecedented rate," he warns, noting past studies focused on adults rather than children. "Depression is not age defined. By the time they're 14 years old, up to nine percent of children have already experienced at least one episode of severe depression." Results of Abela's study, which are being presented at a conference sponsored by the Society for Research on Child Development next week, were culled with the help of some 35 undergraduate and graduate McGill psychology students. The research team gathered its evidence through an unprecedented set of diagnostic interviews, multiple symptom assessments and stress measurements.

AD/HD and Childhood Depression Notes from a talk given by Dr. Sam Goldstein at the European Conference on ADHD - Oxford 8th April 1997. By an ADDNet UK Reporter. Dr. Goldstein is a psychologist working in the Neurology, Learning and Behaviour Centre in Salt Lake City, Utah. He holds a number of teaching and clinical posts, as well as being Chairman of the Professional Advisory Board of CHADD. He is the author of several books and guides for parents and teachers on child development, attention problems and brain injury. Depression may affect as many as 10% of all children before the age of 12, but is likely to affect an even higher percentage of children at greater risk, including those with anxiety, attention deficit or conduct disorder, learning difficulties, etc. If their parents are depressed or if they have parents with bi-polar disorder the risk increases. Depression is episodic, and ranges on a continuum from mild to severe. It is a syndrome a cluster of incapacitating symptoms and behaviours affecting the whole body. These symptoms affect both behaviour and emotion. There is a biological difference in each of us, and some of us are more resilliant than others. It is estimated that approximately 20% of ADHD people carry a trait or predisposition for depression. Thus when ADHD is diagnosed, it is important to consider the possibility of co-existing depression.

Be Aware of Childhood Depression Millions of American children experience persistent sadness and hopelessness. They may withdraw from friends and family, perform poorly in school, act out in anger or stop participating in activities they once enjoyed. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill NAMI ) is trying to get the word out that these children may be suffering from a serious illness called depression. "Children can and do get depressed," said Laurie Flynn, NAMI executive director. "But by intervening early and providing appropriate education and support, we literally can save lives." As many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents may suffer from depression, according to statistics released by the U.S. Center for Mental Health Services. Moreover, if left untreated, the results of depression can be fatal, including suicide the leading cause of death among adolescents. NAMI, in conjunction with many leading national mental health and advocacy organizations, seeks to increase public awareness of depression in youth and serve as a call to action to help eradicate this highly treatable illness.

A Phase or Something More? Recognizing and treating childhood depression "Symptoms of depression in childhood are basically common difficulties children have like temper tantrums, hyperactivity, disobedience and, in girls particularly somatic complaints – headaches, pains, stomachaches," says Dr. Scott Armentrout, director of psychological services at Warm Springs Counseling and Training Institute in Boise. "What makes the symptoms of depression different from what you encounter normally are their frequency, intensity, and duration." Contrary to social thinking, children do not suffer depression because they are bad kids or because they have bad parents. It is clearly an illness even though its exact causes are still under debate.
