Does your child frequently complain of being “bored”? Is it hard to get them to engage with you or the rest of the family? Do they seem to not want to do much of anything these days? The pandemic has been tough on all of us, and our children’s mental health has suffered. You may have noticed your child isn’t enthusiastic about doing the things they used to love anymore. They might be uncharacteristically gloomy, pessimistic, or irritable. Maybe you have this nagging feeling… even though it seems hard to believe children can feel this way… that they’re depressed. In this episode, Dr. Vieira dives into depression and how it presents in children and teens. Because, you guessed it, even children can get depression. You’ll learn the signs, symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options. And hear from parents just like you whose children are struggling. By the end of the episode, you’ll be armed with information to help your child tackle this mental illness head on and get them on the road to health and wellness.
