Advice History
Depression
As parents we want to fix things and make everything better for our children. But depression is something that we often can't conquer alone. If you see signs that your child might be experiencing depression, it is important to get them help. Also, it is imperative that communication lines between you and your child are open, understanding and most of all supportive. Let them talk through their feelings with you in a non-judgmental atmosphere. When looking into medical treatment options, be open to many solutions but also do your homework. While some medications may be beneficial to some children, they don't work for every child. Also, be sure that you and your child's doctor monitor the progress to make sure that it is the right treatment with the desired results.
