How To Overcome Child Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or unhappy. Depression also produces anger, discouragement, resentment, guilt, and low levels of self-esteem. As you grow up, particularly in adolescence, there can be a time of confusion and changes in mood and extreme sensitivity. It is often seen as a stage of rebellion. As parents, it is our responsibility to notice when feelings of sadness, anger, resentment, guilt or low self-esteem in our children are signs that they are feeling very sad. When teens drink alcohol or use drugs to feel better, this can be a sign that they are feeling depressed.
