Signs of depression and what parents can do to help kids who are struggling

DONATE CHILDMIND.ORG Helping children when and where they need it most

As we head towards winter, still dealing with the pandemic, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye out for signs of depression, especially in teenagers. With so many things important to teenagers disrupted — school, seeing friends, sports, and other activities that shape identity — many kids are struggling, even those without a history of depression or anxiety. This week we’ve rounded up childmind.org resources to help parents recognize the signs of depression in teenagers and get them effective treatment. Our experts also offer tips on how to support the healthy coping skills kids need — like avoiding negative and self-critical thinking patterns — to stay resilient and optimistic in this tough time.
