Depression and Its Impact

Depression is one of the most common mental health problems and is estimated to affect around 15% of people at some point during their life. For many people, depression is a life-long disorder which starts during the teenage years – around 10% of teenagers are estimated to have an episode of depression and many more experience persistent low mood.

About the Book

This accessible companion book to Am I Depressed and What Can I do About it? follows essentially the same structure and makes use of the same case studies, but looks at the issues from the parents’ point of view, and incorporates additional strategies for parents. From what to look out for, through what the evidence says about different forms of treatment, to family communication and relapse prevention. Each section includes troubleshooting boxes.
