Depression In Children

Depression in children is serious but there is hope. It is tough to witness a depressed child who has lost the joy of life; they don’t want to wake up in the morning; they have lost motivation all together.

The parent, child, and child therapist can work together and find the cause and work towards the best treatment. Don’t let your child wander in the dark.
