Childhood Depression: Symptoms to look out for and how CCPT can support

When we think of depression in adults, we picture sadness, withdrawal, and low energy. But in children, depression rarely looks like a miniature version of adult despair. Instead, it frequently masks itself as irritability, physical somatic complaints, or behavioral outbursts. In this episode, we break down the complex symptomology of childhood depression, discuss why these signs are so easily mislabeled by schools and parents, and explore how Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) offers children a safe, non-verbal space to process their internal world. Listen today to learn more. Up next we have Dr. Jenna Taylor who discusses how CCPT aligns with internalizing behaviors (aka depression).Don't forget to like and subscribe!
