Childhood Depression

Mental illnesses are neurological disorders which frequently begin in childhood. Early recognition and appropriate treatment can profoundly influence the direction of a child’s life.

The goal of Red Flags is to encourage proactive habits to support strong mental health, raise awareness of the early warning signs of mental illness, and promote early intervention at the onset mental disorders. When suicide is the leading disease-related cause of death in young people, it is critical to know what behaviors in young people deserve careful attention and when to worry.
