Depression in Children and Teens

An article about Depression in Children and Teens by Dr. Lillian Sanvee was published earlier this week in the Liberian Observer.

Dr. Sanvee says that while some adolescents may be able to continue to go on with their lives, some may lose interest in school, change friends and their appearance, and turn to drugs and alcohol.

What can parents do? Obviously, they need to get their children professional help. They need to listen and communicate with their teens about their concerns.
