Student Depression cover

Student Depression: A Silent Crisis in Our Schools and Communities is a guide for educators dealing with an increasing amount of depressed students. This book offers solutions to promote awareness of and sensitivity to the issues surrounding childhood and adolescent depression; includes tips for recognizing depression; describes the contributing factors of depression, medications and treatment plans; and provides suggestions to help readers empathize with those who have suffered or are suffering. It is only by encouraging students to share their feelings and emotions that we can guide them with specific problem solving strategies that they can integrate into their repertoire of skills.

[Lebrun] describes the types of depression and their relative incidence, the inner world of the student with depression, causes, symptoms, prevalence, assessments, influences such as sexual orientation, what teachers and parents can do for students, what students can do for themselves, medications and therapies, 'online depression,' signs of impending suicide, and future possibilities for diagnosis and treatment. He includes sample checklists. * Scitech Book News *
