Talking to Kids
It is important to provide your children with information about your depression according to their maturity level as they will have a general sense when your mental state changes. Otherwise they may also experience confusion, insecurity, fear for you and anxiety. Above all, let your children know that neither they nor their actions are the source of your depression.
