Signs of Depression
Table 1 summarizes some of the more common signs of depression that may warrant consideration, particularly if several signs are present consistently. Many of these symptoms could easily be mistaken for behavior problems associated with academic or social difficulties, such as apathy, low performance, or uncooperativeness. It is important for school personnel to know the signs so that early identification and intervention can occur.
