Through their words we see the importance of early intervention by parents and teachers. A child with depression can experience problems not just with how they feel, but also how they behave. Depression in children is treatable, but often young people are not recognised as being depressed so they don’t get the right help. Nip in the Bud strongly believes that early intervention and support for children ensures far better outcomes.' taxonomy: category: - 'Mental Health' tag: - Bullying - Anxiety - Depression - 'Lived Experience' type: - Video --- # Depression And Me : Real Life Child Mental Health Experiences [ Bullying ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Bullying) [ Anxiety ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Anxiety) [ Depression ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Depression) [ Lived Experience ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Lived%20Experience) [ ![Nip in the Bud](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/themes/nitb/images/logos/round-logo.png) ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/about-us "About Nip in the Bud") Duration: 0h 8m 57s Published: October 2018 #### Warning: Please note – some images and content may be upsetting or disturbing.
