Depression in children is more common than many parents realise, and it can look very different from adult depression. Rather than sadness, you might notice irritability, withdrawal, a loss of interest in things they used to enjoy, or changes in sleep and appetite. It can be easy to miss, or to mistake for a phase. The resources here will help you recognise the signs, understand what your child might be going through, and find out how to get the right support - for them, and for you.
