According to Leon Cytryn and Donald Mcknew, in “What is Childhood Depression” in Growing Up Sad, 1998, page 31-51, depression is a way to show your sadness and worthlessness, however, there are two ways to distinguish the differences between mood or affect and disorder. Cytryn and Mcknew showed that one way to measure the differences between mood or affect and disorder which is to figure out the duration and the degree of the depression. Another way to notice that, which is to pay more attention on the children's ability to their daily life, Cytryn and Mcknew said. Then, Cytryn and Mcknew also revealed that there are three types depression in childhood, which are “acute, chronic and masked”(page 35). Moreover, unipolar and bipolar are the two rarer kinds of “children affective disorder”(page 47), Cytryn and Mcknew explained. Cytryn and Mcknew stated that there are several ways to against depression, which are “sublimation, rejection, dissociation of affect and reaction formation”(page 38). Cytryn and Mcknew resulted that the way to notice children's depression which is to ask the children themselves instead of asking their parents, friends and teachers.

Hi, Tang Na,I like your research topic and the summary too.(-_-|||)Before you talk about this, I never pay any attention on this topic,but after hering you and reading your summary, I'd like to say that I realized the importance of the childhood depression. Your first summary made me look forward to the next very much. I think the most important thing on this topic is to notice the children depression and then we can solve them,so notice the problem is important; and you mentioned in the summary that we have to ask the children themselves, I hope all the parents would notice this and avoid their children depress. In conclusion, I'd like to say...Thank you.
