How can I tell if my child is depressed?
assistant
One way to tell if your child might be suffering from depression is by observing changes in their behavior. Look for signs such as decreased energy, sadness, withdrawal, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleeping too much or too little. If you notice any of these symptoms, talk to your child about how they are feeling and encourage them to seek help if needed. Additionally, look out for other indications like self-harming behaviors, substance abuse, and thoughts of suicide.
