What Parents Get WRONG About Child Depression

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Consider sharing this video with your parents to help raise awareness and make childhood depression, not a stigma. Our childhood years should be the ones when we feel safe, carefree, curious and the happiest, but unfortunately, for some children the dark force that we call depression finds its way to steal their time of innocence. Just because a child seems sad doesn't necessarily mean they have significant depression. But if the sadness becomes persistent or interferes with normal social activities, interests, schoolwork, or family life, it may mean they have a depressive illness. Keep in mind that while depression is a serious illness, it’s also a treatable one.

From my xp: to anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race: DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games: )

When you're a child, and you have an abusive (mentally, Narcissistic parent, then yes, a child is going to get depressed, which can go into adulthood.
Of course, I was talking about myself. I have to grow up and take the blame for myself, and not blame my parent. But, each person handles what I described above differently, so I do NOT fault them for that. I have not seen this parent since I was 14, and have not talked to him since I was 19, which was over 36 years ago.
More than likely, this parent has passed away, so to sum up, I'm trying to let them go, which is hard, but I am trying

I remember at the age of 11, i am diagnosed with anxiety, and have zoloft to help treat it, but lets just say when you live with 1 or 2 narcissists for your entire childhood, have requirements of high grades from school (B’s amd eventually A’s) and (because i have autism, when they TAKE AWAY your special interest at the age of 16 for talking about it too much, eventually, depression/suicide is considered (i am good now, but that does not mean it does not still haunt me sometimes.

A friend of mine got divorced. She has a 10yo who she tries to help express his emotions as much as possible. 2 days ago, after discussing with him just a little bit, he knew pointing out that he feels lonely and that life is hard. I find that excelent that he knows how to talk about it, but I felt so sad that at this age, he feels such heavy feelings. We HAVE to help and support children and parents if we want to have a healthy future society

Six bad misconceptions parents have about child depression:
1) Children can't get depressed, it's an adult thing 0: 40
2) It's just a phase, it will pass 1: 49
3) They're glued to that DARN phone all the time 2: 49
4) It's not depression, they're just lazy 4: 13
5) Therapy means my child getting stuffed with meds 6: 00
6) If my kid is depressed, it means I'm a bad parent 7: 14

I'm going to send this to my family all over! Last summer I (20F) had suspicions that a young cousin(10) had depression and I was basically told by everyone to shut my face so to prove I might not have been wrong, since they kept trying to say it was impossible for my cousin to have depression at their age, I'm going to send this for them to digest

I work at school. Due to the fact that depression is being over-popularized in the media, a majority of adolescents might use it as a sort of cover for non-doing things, whereas the real victims of depression stay unnoticed. This is a situation of the boy, who cried wolf, in which teachers cannot tell who to trust and support, and who is just lazy

Neuroticism is a personality trait that can affect a child's interpersonal sensitivity. It's characterized by negative feelings like anxiety, irritability, self-doubt, depression, and emotional instability. Neuroticism levels increase over time, but not all children experience the same change in direction.

the punishment for being lazy meant a whole added level of pressure on my depressed soul. glad this is far in my past now.
for those who facing this now. in time this will pass for you also. seek help from trusted friends or professionals when you think you need it.

Way back in the day when the internet and smart phones were decades away, when I was depressed, which was most of the time, my mother had the reason. Actually, a choice of two: my period or the summer heat. That added insult to injury.

I still remember when I was a kid, I got diagnosed with depression. I got it at a young age that I had to get medicated at that point. I wasn't just bullied but also isolated and unable to process the world around me.

I always struggled with this my entire childhood. My whole life I always felt the need to fight for my life and my opinion and now when i don't need too. i end up now fighting for a peace that was already won for
reply

I am not a child anymore I will never forget the way my family made me feel, they told me I becoming lazy and fat and also I needed to fix my depression otherwise a man wouldn’t stay with me.

#4 is very relatable, unfortunately. get off your ass and clean your room. stop being a slob and clean up after yourself. there's no excuse for your room to be that bad, you're just lazy.

Children can't get depressed. I've been depressed since I was 12. Now I'm 18 and it's gotten even worse. My parents never took it seriously, even now.
