<human>: How can I tell if my child is suffering from depression?
<bot>: The first step in telling if your child may be suffering from depression is to pay attention to any changes in their behavior, such as increased sadness, irritability, withdrawal, or difficulty concentrating. You should also look for signs of a depressed mood, such as feeling hopeless, helpless, or worthless. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to talk to your child and ask them how they are feeling. It's important to listen carefully to what they have to say, and offer support and understanding.
