Abstract
The author discusses the impact of parental disability, particularly parental depression, on children. Depression in children, which takes differentforms according to the child’s developmental level, may mirror or be a response to similar affect in a parent. Clinicians need to take note of the relationship between child and caretaker and of the various manifestations of childhood depression in order to avoid underdiagnosing this disorder.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
