This authoritative and reassuring guide, written in close association with the doctors from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and its affiliate, the renowned Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, is the first important step for parents who are concerned about depression in their child or adolescent. With the help of expert psychologists and family therapists, you will discover the positive steps you can take to get an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment available.
