Has your daughter lost her sparkle? Has everyday life become a trial for
your son? This book, written by two experts in child and adolescent
mental health, describes how to recognise depression and what causes it;
and provides guidance on how parents can support their child, including
up-to-date advice on seeking professional help. It gives advice on how
to tell the difference between normal responses to stress and symptoms
that are more concerning. It covers topical issues such as academic
pressure, social media, getting a grip on screen time and
cyber-bullying. You will also be given information about the different
treatment options provided by child and adolescent mental health
services, as well as practical advice and information about the support
you can give at home.
