  • Summary

    Mood disorders are causes of significant morbidity and mortality and can have their origins in early life and can affect youth development. In this chapter, we describe the significance of depression in children and adolescents, as well as potential management strategies for mood disorders in youth. We describe the establishment of viable treatment plans (including the stages of diagnostic assessment, selection of treatments, and evaluation of treatment response) in collaboration with the patient and their family, as well as the school, and describe how psychopharmacological or psychotherapeutic interventions may be used across unipolar depression and bipolar disorder. We also discuss potential treatment adaptations for pediatric populations, potential adverse effects for children and adolescents, comorbidities, and ways to manage treatment resistance.
