Anyone who has ever been close to a seriously depressed child has
undoubtedly been affected by the youngster's vulnerability, misery,
and pain. Indeed, it is much like caring for a child who is in
physical pain. For the child in the depths of depression, no
activity is fun, nothing can be enjoyed, and no one can provide
enough consolation or comfort. At times, the youngster may cry or
whimper. There may be fits of defiance or rage and sometimes
withdrawal into a numb, sullen silence. A child in this state tries
the patience of parents and siblings. Remedies of every sort are
tried, including gifts, punishments, bribes, lectures, pleading,
and a host of others. Such efforts occasionally provide temporary
relief, but more often they seem to make matters worse. Commonly,
there is an emotional wall of anger and frustration between a
depressed child and other fumily members that may inevitably lead
to further isolation and withdrawal. If too much time passes
without their being helped, many depressed children and adolescents
come to believe that suicide offers the only real relief for their
pain. Currently, there is a Depression Awareness Week that includes
free screening at participating health and mental health settings
around the United States and is designed to identify depression in
adults, suggesting that society's awareness of depression and
psychiatric disorders is focused to a large extent on adults.
