Abstract
Although overt manifestations of depression are rare in children and adolescents, depressive feelings and “depressive equivalents” are commonly encountered. This paper describes the manner in which depression is evidenced in younger people. This is usually by means of behavioral problems, acting out, school difficulties, etc. The psychological factors responsible for such difficulties and the therapeutic problems presented by such youngsters are discussed.
