Understanding Depression in Children

Nip in the Bud

What

A child with depression can experience problems not just with how they feel, but also how they behave. Depression in children is treatable, but often young people are not recognised as being depressed so they don’t get the right help.

This film explains how to identify and help a child showing the symptoms of depression.

This is one of our information films but we've also included other films about Depression and real-life experience films here on the Young Foundation platform.
