| Plot |
| Literature on depressive disorders in children and adolescents is moving at an explosive pace since recent findings among adults show that depression has an onset in adolescence. It is not only increasing among the younger generation but also emerging at an earlier age, its presence in adolescence increasing the risk for developing comorbid disorders in adulthood. When depression has an early onset, it tends to be chronic and associated with long-term psychosocial impairment. This book provides a comprehensive summary of depressive disorders: prevalence rates, risk and protective factors, and choice of treatment and treatment guidelines. It is written for advanced students, researchers, and clinicians including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, counselors, and other mental health professionals who work with depressive disorders. |
