title: Depression in the classroom: considerations and strategies.
abstract: Depression is a prevalent and debilitating disorder that can severely affect a young person’s social, emotional, and academic functioning. Identifying depression early is essential to reducing the impact of this disorder. Depression is treatable. However, there are a number of classroom and school supports that can be put in place to assist a young person experiencing or recovering from depression. Preventing the development of depression through effective classroom programs should be encouraged and supported within the school environment.
