Synopsis
[from inside flaps] "All children experience occasional feelings of loneliness, sadness, and anger. However, when these feelings are so strong and so prolonged that they appear to overwhelm the child, the possibility of childhood depression must be considered. In LONELY, SAD AND ANGRY Ingersoll and Goldstein define depression in straightforward terms and explain how to tell whether a child or adolescent is depressed. They discuss the causes of depression and examine treatment options with an eye toward helping parents decide which treatment, or combination of treatments--medical, psychological, and environmental--might be most beneficial to a depressed youngster. Detailed information is provided about what parents and teachers can do to help depressed children at home, in school, and in the community. Finally, the authors look to the future and offer some ideas about what lies ahead. BARBARA D. INGERSOLL has devoted twenty-five years to treating children with psychological problems and counseling their families. She is the clinical director of Montgomery Child and Family Health Services in Bethesda, Maryland, where she lives. She is the author of the bestselling Your Hyperactive Child and, with Sam Goldstein, of Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities. SAM GOLDSTEIN is a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He also works in private practice and is the author of four other books on children with psychological problems. This is his second book with Dr. Ingersoll."
