8 Signs Your Child is Depressed (For Parents)

[@Psych2go]

Favor needed. We're trying to raise awareness of how common it could be for a child to experience depression despite the statistics. If you've personally experienced depression yourself as a child or know someone who has, could you consider sharing this video to help generate more awareness. If you did, let us know so we can thank you!

“Come to me anytime you want to talk okay?” That sentence hit me hard tbh. WAS IT REALLY THAT HARD MOM..?! But instead of that, u decided to send me to the mental hospital just because you dont want to deal with me. You forced me to go to school. Whenever I tried to talk about my feelings, you always turned it into an argument. u never trusted me and went on my phone thinking im hiding something from you… or told me im just overreacting, then you questioned why im not talking anything with you anymore… I WONDER WHY. Whenever you saw me struggling, you always made it about yourself, you told me “you are hurting me so much, im so disappointed…” MOM, IM THE ONE WHO IS HURT. Dont make that about yourself… and then called me “ungrateful” for that. Why cant you just accept that im mentally ill and its not my fault…? Why can’t you just support me for at least once? Why? Was it really that hard, mom?

Sometimes it’s best to not just hope longer for the parents to change and listen to you because they won’t just change like that out of nowhere , maybe it’ll be best when you need to distance yourself from them carefully and try to get help from other people who will be on your side. It’s a hard step to take , to open up and trust someone. Sometimes it could be you ask help from the wrong people but you can’t give up on yourself. I know that it will get better for you. Maybe not necessarily your parents but I think that you can do it. You’re worth to be listened to and supported.

I'd like to thank this channel for helping me. In middle school, I had developed depression. It ruined my life and it ruined my relationship with my friends and family. I realized what it was before my parents did, and I have no idea whether or not I would've gotten the help I needed if it weren't for videos like these. It was because of these videos that I was able to identify the cause, and I don't think my parents would have ever realized that I was dealing with depression, since it had manifested itself in extreme irritability and moodiness, which my parents had perceived as typical teenage behavior. I'm in high school now and I've still been struggling with depression since then, but I was able to get help for it and I can imagine it would've been much worse had it not been for Psych2Go. I love what y'all do and I hope your videos can help many more people :)

Most comments are from young ppl and it really touches my heart cause when i was a teen I didn't understand why I always felt lonely and hopeless and in my birth country (Dom.Rep.) depression isn't something ppl really talk about much as "we don't get depressed " lol i was diagnosed during my pregnancy at 24yrs. Now I'm 34 and now that I understand my symptoms I'm more patient with myself because i know it will pass. Now I'm concerned about my almost 11yrs son cuz there's been a few changes in our lives this past year and I've noticed a few changes on him that now that I've watched this video i can see some little red flags that will help me help him with his emotions. Thank you! Oh! And kids... please talk to your parents, they really want to know how you feel and what demons you're dealing with even if they don't understand at first, sometimes it's hard for some people to break that stigma that Depression doesn't happens to kids... talk to them because they will be there for you.

This is so accurate it makes me sad.

It got worse after that.

[@gmansard641]

I am now 61. I have dealt with depression much of my life. Looking back I see that during my early years of school it wasn't so much depression but stress. I hated school (though I always got very good grades with little effort). Most of it was pointless busy work. And, I am very introverted. I now see that the stress was from having to interact with people for an entire day. I'd leave home at 7:30 for an hour's bus ride over unpaved rural Iowa (very bumpy, with lots of stopping and starting). I am prone to motion sickness so this could be an ordeal. Classes started at 8:30 and finished at 3:30. An even longer ride home (we were toward the end of the route) in an overheated bus full of noisy kids, finally getting home at 5:00. Years later my mother would remark that she almost had to push me out the door in the morning, I hated it so much. That's a 9 1/2 hour day for a 6 year old kid. How did anyone wonder why I hated it?

I do all of this except no.6 and no.7. I believe that school's the only thing I'm good at and I don't want my parents to stress about me. Even though studying more, gives me more stress, it's better than getting compared to the neighbor's child, a classmate, or a friend. Ever since I was a child, I've always been an honor student (except 3rd grade) so my parents expect me to either get better grades or maintain my good grades. Whenever I get an 87, 88, or 89, in a subject (that breaks the 90+ grade streak) they make me feel that they're not contented, and say that I should study harder even though I always give it my all.

[@RockstarGacha69]

I showed all of these signs and much worse ones as well, at the age of 17 (3 years ago). My mom, her friends, and my ex boyfriend. All insisted that I was "fine" and would try to lecture me on how I needed to stop being dumb, gross and lazy. My grades in school were all A's - C's but then my grades suddenly dropped, when I started becoming badly depressed. My ex was like "I can't be with a girl who's not very smart and lied to me about it all this time, so fix your grades or I'm breaking up with you." That same week he also cheated on me with his ex and treated me like absolute trash. Jokes on him though, I got tired of his BS and dumped him almost 2 years ago.

[@mosaicbrokenhearts2886]

I show all these signs but in 6th point instead of school its home. I don't know if I'm depressed or it's a phase/hormonal changes as I'm very cheerful when I'm home alone. When I'm alone I do home alone concerts, watch anime, write songs (mostly sad), love too look at sky & star gazing. But i kinda lost all these connections with friends i feel like an outsider even after years of friendship i know they welcome me, still. I eat healthy food but still i feel i have no energy. I feel immediate mood swings, sometimes very severe like i wanna fall off this building..idk. i know i should be alive ..i got good grades too. I don't have anyone even if people are around..idk. I'm only 17 i don't know anything. Mine is not a toxic household but still i feel toxic as my parents keep quarreling. I wrote a song on that too.

Not having my phone would make me worry even more than I already do and I’d just want to stay in bed all day drowning in my own self pity :/ This is why parents shouldn’t blame things in the phone and actually try to figure out the root cause (cuz it could be the phone sometimes, but not in every case).

I literally have all of these symptomps as a child, especially about school. The actual reason why children hate school is the system. Like I would just quit school if there wasnt a thing called "Diploma" which gives you a chance to have an actual job. Once I felt very sick and so I took a break from school and started studying on home. I started to think that homeschooled people were very lucky because it is alot better than the school. There are no annoying people trying to offend you in front of 24-29 people. And the best thing about being homeschooled is that you are training yourself. Most of the students get bad grades n' stuff just because they cant understand the teacher. School is actually something stupid to me. No one can explain a thing in a way that everyone can understand. School ahead alot of other things give children depression, which I already experienced. Example; being bullied of your age or different reasons. Now cyber-bullying might cause depression on children. Minors or teenagers actually need to be a little careful about it while talking to children because there are some very effective people out there like me. And I assure you, those days when I was like 11 or 12 I got bullied on my age alot. No one is born 17 they also forget that they were childs once or at least had their "cringe" moments. But they literally affect children's mental statement by that. After I got bullied for like 3-4 times I seriously quitted playing on laptop or on phone for a long long time. That also affected my grades according to my depression. So if a minor or a person over 13 like me is reading this comment, please ave a little empathy to the children.

One of the best things my mother ever told me she told me because I was in my teens and very depressed. Depression in teens is not new. It is at least thousands of years old. My mother told me, "If anyone tells you these (teen years) years are the best years of your life, don't believe it!" That kept me aluve, literally, through those years. Sometimes, one needs to know "this, too, shall pass." I have chronic clinical depression. I did not take meds for it until I was in my early forties and unable to function. It was not because my parents didn't think meds could help me when I was young. The medicines were not there! My point is, as children and teens, we need help, but we also need to be assured that depression as a teen or even child, is not unheard of and that this will pass. And that if we need help the parents do a thorough job of making sure they are bringing the child to a psychologist who is not a "one saw fits all" with a preset idea of treatment modalities. And, that the person is well-respected in the mental health community and is not a psychologist because of his or her unresolved issues. But to also make sure their own parenting is one of firm love. There are times when the " professional" makes matters worse, not better.

Honestly, while I try to be forgiving and understanding- People like that can seriously just go to hell already, since they'll probably never change without the fear of death. If you don't care enough about your own child to help them through mental health because you think it will "ruin your reputation" then you are both heartless and stupid. Honestly, you've got a good case for something legal there- Don't really know how to phrase it, but accounting for the most basic mental needs of someone should be important. Like, I'm generally for small government, but if a kid is dealing with depression and their parent is doing nothing for them there should be a way out, and a way for the parent to be legally reprimanded for being a piece of shit. (I know this is your mother and you probably, hopefully love her, and I hope she has some good in her, but seriously, thats so unbelievably shitty I can't even imagine)

It's so hard to describe to other people what depression is like, but for me this is exactly what if feels like. Everything is gray and dull, you just feel like you're existing, not living. For anyone who's going through something similar, I promise it's worth it to keep fighting. You might not be there yet, and to be honest I don't think I am either, but eventually you'll see the colors again. There's a rainbow at the end of every storm, and you're so close to finding it

Thank you for your words of kindness. And as a teen also growing up with depression, it’s sad because I want to see life colorfully and live my young years happily like others. But I just can’t. I hope one day it will come to that, though.

Thank you for this comment, I was kinda aware that I was becoming increasingly not okay and I tried to become more optimistic, and love myself more, but recently I forgot that and just spiraled deeper and deeper into negativity, my emotions were out of control, I feel so tired and trapped and your comment made me remember the me that was genuinely trying, I'm gonna continue trying to figure out my emotions and love myself a bit more. I really appreciate your comment, it made me feel better than what I've been feeling in awhile, thank you very much! ♡ And to the others (I don't know if anyone will even read this lol) I hope that ya'll will find something worth fighting for and everything will get better, good job and all the best! \(^o^)/

I think my 9 yr daughter Daisy is depressed because she hasn’t been acting how she usually acts! She even grabs her head during breakfast and dinner everyday, she locks herself in her room, she even starts crying and when I ask her “are you okay?”, she says “yes I’m fine, dad” and when I see her going to her room, i saw her face instantly change to a sad expression in the mirror on her door. And i can easily tell she’s depressed because I keep hearing her yell “leave me alone please!” But luckily me, my little sister Petra and my wife Claudia can help her and she knows she can trust us! I just hope we can help Daisy….
