If more than one of these symptoms looks familiar to you as a parent or guardian, it may be beneficial to seek help for your child in order to help them feel more like themselves again. While sadness comes and goes on its own, depression can linger and become worse if left untreated for too long. There are lots of resources available to help and Gulf Wind Counseling is one of them.
