Clinical profiles and symptoms of childhood depression.
The identification of depression poses significant clinical challenges to physicians, parents and teachers. Symptoms of depression may differ from those of the adult depression. Clinical depression varies in the nature and intensity of its presenting symptoms. It may present with the cardinal symptoms of major depressive disorder. It often goes unidentified and undiagnosed when it presents as masked depression or depressive equivalents.
