Depression is a type of mood disorder that can damage relationships among family members and friends, harm school performance, and limit other educational opportunities. Depression can negatively affect eating, sleeping, and physical activity. Because it can result in so many health problems, it is important to recognize the signs of depression and get the right treatment. When depression is treated successfully, most children can get back on track with their lives.
