The young generation has a lot going on their minds, their brains have a lot to process all the time. Study time, friendships, arguments with parents, social media, complicated relationships, this all could create a full-time worry for children.
Anxiety, depression, stress and tensions are common in children but they may not always be a concern. According to Mad In America, psychologists say that every now and then, a child has to go through so much pressure that it's quite natural for them to be depressed at times. Relevant studies have revealed that children in the 90's also faced a phase of depression and anxiety in their teenage years. The phase was,however,transitional and lessened with age.
It was also observed that external factors and tensions related to unsure futures also deeply affected children and their thinking patterns, A UK based survey told that after the Britain exited the Europe, a visible increase in mental problems was recorded.
Although it is advised to not over worry at every depression a child exhibits, parents should keep an eye on their child and be prepared if that depression kicks in on a deeper level and becomes prolonged in their child; this definitely is a problem that should be tackled both by parents and psychologists.
According to NCBI, even when children feel overburdened, they do not stop involving themselves in their daily life routine but when they cease their activities, it is definitely a time to consider talking a child into counseling or psychoanalysis. It might not be a big problem but its always better to keep an eye on their attitudes and habits because mental stress is a common worry these days which can aggravate in a jiff. It's just wishful thinking to believe that depression cannot affect children; it does severely however since children are at a growing age, the passage of time tends to attenuate and lessen.
