This chapter considers the ways that\u0000 depression manifests in children, the prevalence of child depression, the challenges of\u0000 assessing child populations, and the ways that depression can adversely affect\u0000 development. As children move into adolescence, they are particularly susceptible to\u0000 depression. The reasons for the spike in adolescent depression are explored, along with\u0000 consideration of measures that might reduce the toll of adolescent depression. Beginning\u0000 in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood, depression is much more common among\u0000 females than males. Biological, cognitive, and social explanations for this sex\u0000 difference in depression are considered. Finally, late-life depression is considered,\u0000 including ways that depression in older persons is distinct from, and similar to,\u0000 depression at earlier life stages.","PeriodicalId":11179,"journal":{"name":"Depression","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74269595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
