Studies show that from four to eight percent of American children experience bouts of major depression. Among teenage girls that rate can be as high as sixteen percent. This program from The Doctor Is In emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to avoid potential patterns of repeated depression later in life -- and to prevent substance abuse and suicide.

In this video children suffering from depression talk about how they cope with it, while child psychiatrist David G. Fassler, author of Help Me, I'm Sad, and Steven Atkins, a psychologist at Dartmouth Medical School, provide useful insights.
