Overcoming Childhood depression

 Overcoming childhood depression 

Dark hole of depression 


Depression is a mental illness that affects people of all ages. Despite sharing the same symptoms as adults, depression in children often goes unnoticed and untreated. So, parents you need to acknowledge it! Children who are depressed may be misunderstood as being shy, difficult, or misbehaved.

I’ve been through this myself as a child and I’m sharing my tools with you. 

The Childhood Depression: Info for Caregivers or Parents teaches the basics about childhood depression. Psychoeducation helps to normalize depression, while distinguishing it from other problems such as behavioral disorders and anxiety. This worksheet covers common signs of depression in children, as well as treatments, triggers, and other related information. Please note that trauma can also occur in a child at that moment. 

The treatment of childhood depression requires that caregivers are on board and involved. One goal of this handout is to encourage their participation from the earliest stages of treatment. For more on caregiver involvement, see the Managing Childhood Depression worksheet. 

Please understand I have been down this road myself as a child after a sibling committed suicide and it greatly affected me and I had to get therapy for myself. In today’s world mental health professionals now understand. But, back in my day they hardly could understand. So what you can do with mental health now is different to what it was in the past. These resources will help your children. You must acknowledge their feelings and why are they being bullied by other children or have they lost a sibling like me.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...

Building a resilient child

  As much as we would love to shield our kids from the harder parts of life, sadly we can’t keep them from facing challenges, big and small. I believe it is important to teach kids how to handle challenges in life like I did. What we can do, however, is teach our kids the skills of resilience. I’ve been through a lot as a child and lost a sibling through suicide in 1995 and there was nothing for children back in 1995 they swept it under the carpet but it’s important we actually learn ways to overcome these traumatic experiences. Resilience is what helps us humans cope when times get tough. Although the term ‘ resilience ’ is talked about a lot these days, it’s not always well understood. It doesn’t mean simply putting on a brave face or learning not to care about what happens to us. It means facing the negative situations with courage. It’s about being able to recognise that some things in life are hard. And it’s ok to have big feelings about that.  When we can accept our fee...

  How to move on from setbacks Bounce back better with these 5 science-backed strategies None of us sail through life without some drama. Sure, it can feel like some people experience more hardship than others but think about the people you know. Really know. Chances are, most of them struggle with something. The best we can do is work on how we respond to challenges. These science-backed strategies are a good place to start. 1. Acceptance This doesn't mean you agree with the situation, but you can acknowledge it as your current reality. This helps you to stop dwelling on what could have been and start moving towards what can be. 2. Let go of the past Holding onto disappointment and tragedy for example suicidal death of a loved one. It only keeps you stuck. One technique you might like to try is writing down negative thoughts in a journal. Sometimes seeing it on paper or a journal can help you examine it more objectively. - this is used in life coaching known as cognitive behaviour...
