Sad Belly
By David Taransaud
When a mother falls into depression, she doesn't disappear—but the child loses her just the same. Nearly 500,000 antidepressant prescriptions are issued to children each year in England alone, yet we continue to miss the signs of childhood depression. These children don't always look sad. They may appear mature beyond their years, fiercely independent, or helpful to a fault. Some become aggressive or self-destructive. Others simply fade into the background, hiding in plain sight.
