Management of depressive disorder in adolescents
نویسنده
چکیده
Historically, depressive disorders in adolescents have been conceptualised as variants of the non specific class of childhood emotional or neurotic disorder, which encompassed depressive, anxiety, hysterical and obsessional disorders. Over the past decade, however, the field has shifted towards greater diagnostic refinement. Research evidence has shown that severe depressive disorders differ from other mental disorders in this age group in their epidemiology, outcome and correlates (Harrington & Wood, 1995). Treatment therefore includes not only general techniques of clinical management, but also a variety of treatments targeted at the symptoms of depressive disorder.
