I hate it when I see a gloomy face in a child most mothers and ladies are easily drawn, not to forget a few men too. Children are so guilt-free you just want to hug them when they are low.
Now and again apparently typical kids with no significant life issues can wind up discouraged. It is the consequence of a synthetic lopsidedness in the mind that makes clinical gloom happen.
There are explicit signs that you ought to perceive in your youngster on the off chance that they are discouraged. Getting them help and treatment is urgent to their psychological health.
Here are some scenarios that indicate your child is going through depression.
1. Decreased enthusiasm for exercises
It is weird when a child happens to lose interest in activities that he or she happened to like most.
If it happens that he or she is not interested in participating in the activities, the chances of him or her suffering from depression are high.
2. Trouble Sleeping
Children are known to be good at sleeping. Those suffering from depression are the only ones likely to find it hard sleeping.
3. Exhaustion and loss of vitality
When a child is going through depression the chances of him or her losing energy is high. Whenever your child looks weak, know that he or she might be suffering from depression.
4. Sentiments of profound pity
If a child seems to have a discouraged state of mind that last the vast majority of the day then he/she is likely to be depressed. Profound pity is a sign every parent should not ignore.
Kenya is noted to have a predominantly young population and we cannot afford to ignore depression. If you notice two or more of the symptoms mentioned above in yourself, a friend or a family member, kindly have an assessment by a mental health practitioner- a psychologist, a professionally trained counsellor or a psychiatrist.
