Clinical depression isn't for adults only--children who are under
stress, experience loss or have attention, learning or conduct disorders
are also at high risk. On this site, a team of experts at Northern County
Psychiatric Associates in Baltimore provides extensive information on
distinguishing between the depressed behavior of children and teenagers
and that of afflicted adults. They also discuss various treatments and
offer links to facts about other psychological disorders and treating
them.
