Depression in Children and Adolescents

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Depression is a common, recurrent, and impairing disorder that is relatively rare during childhood, but increases substantially during adolescence. Moreover, some risks for depression in adulthood have their origin earlier in development. This chapter describes the current diagnostic criteria, continuity and phenomenology, epidemiology, and etiology of depression in children and adolescents from a developmental psychopathology perspective. Etiological factors reviewed include genetics, neurobiology, temperament, negative cognitions, self-regulation, stress and trauma, and interpersonal relationships. Suggestions for an integrated model of depression are presented and important issues for future research are highlighted.
