Recognizing Depression in Children

Depression can present differently in children and adults, which makes it important to recognize signs that may indicate the need for professional support at any age. Identifying symptoms early and seeking care can play a meaningful role in emotional well-being, daily functioning, and long-term mental health. Common signs of depression in children and adults include:

• Persistent sadness or irritability
• Loss of interest in favorite activities
• Changes in eating or sleeping patterns
• Declining school performance
• Social withdrawal or isolation
• Frequent complaints of headaches or stomachaches
• Increased sensitivity to rejection
• Expressions of worthlessness
• Trouble concentrating
• Talking about death or suicide

Individuals need proper support to overcome depression. If you notice these signs lasting for more than two weeks, your loved one may need a professional evaluation. Our team at Dino-Peds provides gentle, age-appropriate assessments in a comfortable setting where patients feel safe sharing their feelings.
