Parent Handbook on Child and Adolescent Depression

This is a practical guide, written by parents for parents, with information and ideas on what to do if a child is suffering from depression. Many parents don't know the signs of depression or where to turn for help. Understanding what's going on with a child, finding the right treatment, dealing with the schools, negotiating insurance issues—challenges that parents face when their child is suffering from depression - are dealt with in a frank and understanding way, in an easy-to-read format.

The result of interviews with parents and professionals over a two-year period, the Handbook deals with the practical issues around the illness and serves as a primer on depression itself. Applauded by parents, counselors and most recently pediatricians, the book features the kind of nuts-and-bolts information that parents had a hard time finding before.
