Product Description
2004. Paperback, 158 pages.
Depressive disorders can produce dramatic and frightening changes in young peoples’ behaviour, but while parents may suspect something is wrong, they are often at a loss to know what to do. This book shows parents how to tell the difference between the ordinary ups and downs of growing up and true depression, helping them to better understand clinical warning signs and the various approaches to treatment.
Dealing sensitively with how depression sometimes manifests itself (e.g. self-harm, alcohol and drug abuse, and suicide attempts), the book offers parents practical guidance on how they can reach out to their children and find professional assistance.
