Everyone feels sad and lonely sometimes. Growing numbers of children are living with depression, a disease often mistaken for sadness. Drawing on his years of experience helping children with depression and anxiety disorders, Dr. James Crist has written a book that kids can turn to when they need advice, reassurance, and ideas. He starts by telling young readers that all kids feel sad and lonely sometimes. He explains how the body and mind react to these painful feelings, then offers "Ten Tips for Beating the Blues and Blahs"-coping skills kids can learn and practice. Additional strategies help kids get a handle on their feelings, make and keep friends, and enjoy their alone time. The second part of the book focuses on depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and other problems too big for kids to handle on their own, and describes what it's like to go to counseling. Includes a special Note to Grown-ups and a list of resources.
