How can I tell if my child is depressed?
assistant
One way to tell if your child is depressed is by observing changes in their behavior. Look for signs such as irritability, withdrawal from social situations, difficulty concentrating or sleeping, and a decrease in energy levels. Additionally, talk to your child about how they are feeling and ask them directly if they are having any thoughts of suicide or self-harm. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek professional help right away.
