TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Depression and suicide in childhood and adolescence JO - Pediatria Integral A1 - Royo Moya, J. A1 - Fernández Echeverría, N. SP - 116.e EP - 116.e VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - Depressive disorders in children and adolescents are common, chronic, and recurrent, and they are often associated with comorbid psychiatric conditions and poor prognosis, that can be alleviated by early identification and treatment. The symptoms of depression in children vary. It is often undiagnosed and untreated because they are passed off as normal emotional and psychological changes that occur during growth. The symptoms of depression in childhood are similar to adult major depressive disorder with the exception that children may also exhibit an extended and irritable mood, rather than sadness. © 2017, Ediciones Ergon SA.
