PBS Kids GO! It's My Life
Depression

Discussion Questions for kids to bring up with adults

Have you ever been sad or felt worthless for long periods of time?

If so, what helped you make those feelings go away?

What do you think may have caused those feelings in the first place?

What do you think is the difference between "feeling sad" and being depressed?

Have you ever had someone close to you become seriously depressed? What did you do?

I've learned that depression can run in the family. Has anyone in our family been treated for depression?
