I've made a several grammatical corrections within the article that needed to be fixed. Other than that, the Wikipedians that are making critiques on your page are mainly asking for more citations. If you add more internal citations, I think it'll help support the article's overall framework. DavidlawsonND (talk) 21:40, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Reified..

Erm, I've never heard depression in childhood called this and am concerned it is reifying depression unduly and diverging with the published consensus literature. I think it is safer to redefine the page as depression in childhood, which allows us to broaden the discussion somewhat without reifying it. thoughts on a move?

• Support the proposal. The proposed new title is less restrictive. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 16:57, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
• Agree and move away. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
• I suggest the title be: depression in childhood and adolescence. Prof Haeffel (talk) 20:19, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

• Yes I agree with that too. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:38, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• Support I've briefly scanned the first few PubMed results and agree the present name may be reification. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

@2600:8804:86C5:9400:F407:57F5:2E78:2442 I am here because I have depression and I don't have much knowledge about depression. 2600:8804:86C5:9400:F407:57F5:2E78:2442 (talk) 17:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

This is an interesting topic but it needs to be organized better and little edits here and there will improve the overall quality of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sazimi11 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 1 August 2012 (UTC) Can we get a better citation for the childhood depression statistics? 1984 is slightly ancient for psych research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oscardssmith (talk • contribs) 05:52, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

"Legitimacy as a Diagnosis" Section edits

There are two "clarification needed" notes in that paragraph. I think I've clarified the sentence referenced in the first note, but I'd appreciate someone with more Wikipedia experience than I checking it out and removing the clarify note if necessary. Truthfully, I couldn't see how the second instance could be clarified. skatoulaki (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Medication as treatment

The treatment section mentions that psychotherapy and medications are commonly used as treatment options however, some research has shown that adolescents prefer psychotherapy instead of medications. Although medication is the last resort when it comes to treatment, it still should be addressed in detail as a form of treatment, along with the other treatments that are listed. They do not go into enough details. As for medication as a form of treatment for depression in children and adolescents, a Cochrane review suggests that those who are treated with antidepressants have lower depression severity scores and high rates of response/remission. This review also suggests that there is an increased risk of suicide for those on antidepressants. Things such as this should be mentioned in the treatment section because it gives the pros/cons of each treatment and what to expect.
