When children are depressed they nearly always act out. They do
not typically display depression as do adults (sad mood, crying,
loss of interest, etc.). Let’s say a child presented as acting out.
How would you go about determining whether the child was
experiencing depression, ODD, or Conduct Disorder? (remember: the
same acting out symptoms could be ADHD, Central Auditory Processing
Disorder, PTSD, physical and/or sexual abuse, etc., etc., etc.)
