Introduction

Depression is a serious mental health condition that can affect how children and young people think, feel and engage with the world around them. While emotional ups and downs are a normal part of growing up, persistent changes in mood, behaviour or social connections may signal something more concerning. Recognising the early warning signs, maintaining open communication and providing a supportive environment are essential. With compassion, understanding and early intervention, parents and caregivers can play a vital role in supporting a young person's recovery and long-term wellbeing.
