Children and depression

Depression in children can masquerade as irritability, boredom, or behavioral problems, making it easy to miss until isolation deepens. A child who is struggling emotionally needs adults who can name what they're observing without shame, stay present without trying to fix it immediately, and know when professional help becomes necessary.
