Abstract
The author notes that childhood depression has become an accepted diagnostic entity, an affective disorder related to unipolar and bipolar illnesses. He indicates the importance of trying to distinguish between depression as a symptom and depression as a syndrome. Clinicians treating depressed children need to keep abreast of contemporary research on the role of metabolic dysfunctions in depression.Keywords
