Abstract
Our understanding of children and adolescents’ experience of depression has evolved over time, typically guided by the predominant psychological theories and climate. With the advent of DSM-5, research that reflects updated symptomatology of childhood depression was included, and new terminology and diagnoses have emerged. Certain diagnoses, such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, are examples of new descriptions of observed clinical concerns, though they have not been added to the DSM nomenclature without controversy. These issues, as well as factors that represent the most up-to-date research on the etiology of mood disorders, are discussed in this chapter. In addition, common comorbidities of childhood depression, developmental impacts, as well as a brief overview of evidence-based treatment options are reviewed.
