Furthermore, depression looks different in a child. Symptoms can include irritability, emotional reactivity, emotional shutdown and withdrawal from activities like school. The social worker could be right that your son is depressed, but he will need an evaluation by a board-certified child psychiatrist to diagnose it. [/QUOTE]
