Summary
If you think it is likely that your child or teenager is indeed suffering from depression, you will first want to try to work out why. Often parents are concerned that this is their fault, or that they are somehow to blame for their child’s depression. Or you may be worried that something has happened in your child’s life to cause the depression which they haven’t told you about.
