Hi Suzanne...so good to see you.

Are you worried about your child?  I think the one thing that they say in kids who suffer from depression is irritability.

Here is a list of possible symptoms to look for from the Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: 

"If one or more of these signs of depression persist, parents should seek help:

• Frequent sadness, tearfulness, crying
• Decreased interest in activities; or inability to enjoy previously favorite activities
• Hopelessness
• Persistent boredom; low energy
• Social isolation, poor communication
• Low self esteem and guilt
• Extreme sensitivity to rejection or failure
• Increased irritability, anger, or hostility
• Difficulty with relationships
• Frequent complaints of physical illnesses such as headaches and stomachaches
• Frequent absences from school or poor performance in school
• Poor concentration
• A major change in eating and/or sleeping patterns
• Talk of or efforts to run away from home
• Thoughts or expressions of suicide or self destructive behavior "

I hope this helps some...please let us know if you have more questions okay?
