Abstract

The interest in mood disorders among children has ballooned in the past 15 years as evidenced by the increase in published articles addressing the issue. Amid the surge of interest has been controversy, however. Specifically, proponents of psychoanalytic theory have questioned the existence of mood disorders in children due to their lack of a developed superego (Digdon & Gotlib, 1985), while others have contended that if mood disorders do exist in children, then they are “masked” in the form of other problem behaviors, such as aggression or anxiety (Cytryn & McKnew, 1974; Hammen & Compas, 1994). The current popular view of childhood mood disorders contends that the essential features of depression are similar among children, adolescents, and adults with allowances for developmental differences (Kazdin, 1990).
