abstract="Depressive disorders in children and adolescents constitute a significant burden on social and public health. The impairment can affect several domains of functioning including family, school, and social. Depression is also a significant risk factor in suicide and other psychiatric disorders. The prevalence of major depressive disorder is estimated to be 2% in children and 4% to 8% in adolescents. The rates are much higher in subsyndromal depression, which also affects the functioning of youth. Most youth do recover; however, recurrence is common, with 40% to 70% of youth experiencing relapse within 3 to 5 years. Biopsychosocial assessment of depression requires gathering information from multiple informants and synthesizing the information to diagnose depression. Treatment of pediatric depression consists of social, psychological, and pharmacological interventions. © SLACK Incorporated.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
