It is surprising how, in present times, more and more depressed children appear in the societies of the world, some to such an extent that they think of death as an alternative.
Those children who live under constant stress, are alone most of the time, who have experienced losses that cause them pain or have attention, learning or behavior disorders, are at risk of suffering depression at some point in their childhood.
Today, with this dizzying pace with which millions of families live their daily lives and which leads to children alone and ignored, childhood depression has become as common as bread on the table every day.
That is why the symptoms of childhood depression must be recognized, so that if it occurs in the little ones in the house, they know that it is necessary to seek professional help before the case worsens and brings fatal consequences:
Persistent sadness.
Frequent crying.
Absence of illusions.
Loss of interest in your favorite games.
Inability to enjoy new and fun activities.
Lack of energy.
Constant boredom.
Lack of communication.
Sudden isolation.
Constant guilt.
Reacts violently to rejection and failure.
He is hostile and does not relate to his contemporaries.
He does not want to go to school, therefore his grades are poor.
Complains of body aches.
Lack of concentration.
He does not eat or sleep well.
He says he wants to leave home.
He talks about death constantly.
Depression in a child is as serious as it is in an adult. There are many factors that can trigger this state in an infant, and it is imperative to be alert to a sudden change in behavior that may betray its appearance.
With regard to this issue I have no personal experience but if days ago a colleague told me that her second job is to babysit some 6 and 8 year old children, their mother is a politically active woman and she almost never has time to attend them, so I drop them off at my partner's house at 6am and pick them up at 8-9pm. She says that children are very restless, their school activities are very late because they have attention deficit and it is difficult for them to do them by themselves, they have foul language as if they were adults, in short, she states that every time the mother leaves them At home, he feels that later he does not want to go looking for them and he feels very sorry for the children.
She has tried to help them, guide them so that they can enjoy a bit of what remains of their childhood but it is not easy when it is noticeable that the family does not contribute anything sentimentally to them. In this case there are signs of childhood depression and it is up to the children's mother to act at this moment before it is too late.

Well if thw parent is barely home then you'd see why they'd try to seek attention elsewhere, regardless if it's positive or negative attention
