Abstract

The depression in adults and in children usually have similar manifestations. However, in addition to causing physical and emotional distress, childhood depression can also interfere
with both children’s norrnal social development and their ability to perform in social situations. This, as education and mental health professionals enter in contact with depressed children, it is important for them to be prepared to address these children’s specific needs. This article discusses the impact that depression might have in the healthy social development of children. Furthemore, it presents and discusses several social skills training programs that are used to help depressed children to develop better social skills and to avoid the problems of a faulty socialization.
