This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Completely Updated in December/2016**The treatment modalities for pre-teen and teenager depression require a multi-factorial approach. Cognitive-behavioral therapy in combination with pharmacotherapy is the main-stay treatment option commonly used today for treating depression. While these drugs are effective in treating depression, careful monitoring of the dosage is extremely important, especially in young children. Holistic therapy can be effective in treating "normal depression" and might include: proper diet, exercise, supplements, emotional expression through acting, singing, and writing, etc. Parents and siblings of depressed children play a very important role in helping these relatives deal with their depression. They need support, concern, care, attention, and reassurance as well as comfort from close family. Depression can occur in a familial pattern causing a string of depressed children and parents in the family. This may be disastrous, and the services of a family mental health professional and perhaps psychiatrist may be needed. Depression is treatable! The first step is to recognize it. Then develop an "action plan" which includes a professional assessment, if necessary. The best thing a parent can do for their child is to provide a safe environment to get them to talk about their feelings. Never underplay a child's sadness.

Book excerpt: Teen depression is on the rise in North America. According to the statistics, one teen in every high school classroom is probably suffering from a major depression. These teens come from all social, economic and cultural backgrounds - from anyone's family or community. Parents often agonize over this problem, but do nothing, hoping for the best and allowing the teenager time and space to work out his or her own problems. They try to give extra love, support and attention, but they can't help worrying. Dr. Miriam Kaufman gives the concerned parent a thorough overview of the most up-to-date medical knowledge. Drawing on her own experience and that of other doctors and psychologists who work with teenagers, and offering many illustrative case histories, the author explains what teen depression is and how it can be overcome. Medical and psychiatric conditions, gender and sexuality differences, substance abuse, anxiety, poverty and suicide, as well as the social and practical aspects of life with a depressed teen are discussed. Medical approaches, including therapy and drug treatment, are covered in detail. An entire chapter is dedicated to alternative treatments. And in a broad-ranging question-and-answer section, Dr. Kaufman addresses many of the specific concerns of parents, and of teenagers themselves. This comprehensive look at teen depression is sure to be helpful not only to teens and parents, but to teachers, guidance counselors and all those who work with adolescents.
