UNIT 5

Childhood Depression

“Nobody likes me” is a common complaint in middle childhood, when children tend to be popularity conscious. But when these words were addressed to a school principal by an 8-year old boy in Florida whose classmate had accused him of stealing from the teacher’s purse, it was a danger signal. The boy vowed that he would never return to school and he never did. Two years later, he hanged himself by a belt from the top rail of his bunk bed.

Fortunately, depressed children rarely go to such lengths, though suicide among young people is on the increase. How can we tell the difference between a harmless period of the “blues” (which we all experience at times) and a major affective disorder that is, a disorder of mood? The basic symptoms of an affective disorder are similar from childhood, by some features are age-specific 9dsm III-r, 1987).

          Friendlessness is only one sign of childhood depression. This disorder is also characterized by inability to have fun or to concentrate, and by and absence of normal emotional reactions. Depressed children are frequently tired, extremely active, or inactive. They walk very little, cry a great deal, have trouble concentrating, sleep to much or too little, lose their appetite, start doing poorly in school, look unhappy, complain of physical ailment, feel overwhelmingly guilty, suffer severe separation anxiety (which may take the form of the school phobia), or think often about death or suicide. Any four or five of these symptoms may support a diagnosis of depression, especially when they represent a marked change from the child’s usual pattern. Parents do not always recognize “minor” problems like sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and irritability as signs of depression, but children themselves are often able to describe how they feel.

          No one is sure of the exact cause of depression in children or adults. There is some evidence for a biochemical predisposition, which may be triggered by specific experiences. Depression school age-children are children likely to lack social and academic competence, but it is not clear whether incompetence causes depression or vice versa. The parents or depressed children are more likely to be depressed themselves, suggesting a possible genetic factor, a reflection of general stress in ill families, or the result of poor parenting practices by disturbed parents.

Masa Depresi

"Tidak ada yang suka padaku" adalah keluhan umum di masa kecil, ketika anak-anak cenderung sadar popularitas. Tetapi ketika kata-kata ini ditujukan kepada seorang kepala sekolah oleh anak laki-laki 8 - tahun di Florida, yang mana teman sekelasnya telah menuduhnya mencuri dari tas guru merupakan sinyal bahaya. Anak itu bersumpah bahwa ia tidak akan pernah kembali ke sekolah dan dia tidak pernah melakukannya. Dua hari kemudian, ia gantung diri oleh sabuk dari tempat tidur rel tidur.

Untungnya, anak-anak jarang mengambil jalan pintas seperti itu, meskipun bunuh diri di kalangan pemuda semakin meningkat. Bagaimana kita bisa membedakan antara masa tidak berbahaya dari “masa kesedihan” (yang kita semua alami kadang-kadang) dan gangguan afektif utama adalah, gangguan suasana hati? gejala utama dari gangguan afektif masa kecil yang mirip, fitur tertentu khusus untuk 9dsm usia III-R, 1987)

Tidak memiliki teman  hanya satu tanda depresi kanak-kanak. Gangguan ini juga ditandai dengan ketidakmampuan untuk bersenang-senang atau untuk berkonsentrasi, dan dengan dan tidak adanya reaksi emosional yang normal. Anak depresi sering lelah, sangat aktif, atau tidak aktif. Mereka bergerak sangat sedikit, banyak berdukacita, memiliki kesulitan berkonsentrasi, tidur terlalu banyak atau terlalu sedikit, kehilangan nafsu makan, mulai melakukan hal buruk di sekolah, tampak tidak bahagia, mengeluhkan penyakit fisik, merasa sangat bersalah, menderita kecemasan pemisahan berat (yang mungkin mengambil bentuk fobia sekolah), atau sering berpikir tentang kematian atau bunuh diri. Ada empat atau lima dari gejala-gejala ini dapat mendukung diagnosis depresi, terutama ketika mereka mewakili perubahan signifikan dalam pola kebiasaan anak. Orang tua tidak selalu mengenali masalah "kecil" seperti gangguan tidur, kehilangan nafsu makan dan lekas marah sebagai tanda-tanda depresi, tetapi anak-anak sendiri seringkali mampu menggambarkan apa yang mereka rasakan.

Tidak ada yang yakin penyebab pasti depresi pada anak-anak atau orang dewasa. Ada beberapa bukti biokimia tren, yang mungkin dipicu oleh pengalaman tertentu. Depresi-anak usia sekolah adalah anak-anak cenderung kurang kompetensi sosial dan akademik, tetapi tidak jelas apakah ketidakmampuan untuk menyebabkan depresi atau sebaliknya. Orang tua atau anak-anak depresi lebih mungkin menjadi tertekan diri mereka sendiri, menunjukkan faktor genetik mungkin, suatu refleksi dari stres umum dalam keluarga pasien atau hasil dari orangtua miskin oleh orang tua yang telah terganggu.
