What Is Childhood Depression?

Childhood depression is a clinical condition characterized by ongoing sadness or a lack of interest in once-enjoyable tasks. While occasional sadness is normal, depression involves an intense emotional state that persists for weeks or months, potentially hindering a child’s growth and well-being.
