THE EFFECT OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IN CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: Today, Anxiety/Anxiety can be defined as an individual's feeling inadequate in a threatening environment, uneasiness or inner distress caused by fear, an unpleasant emotional state, and a reaction to possible dangers. Fear is an emotion that produces by the person. Depression, on the other hand, is a mental disorder that negatively affects children's lives and is dominated by feelings such as self-worthlessness, guilt, unhappiness, hopelessness, inability to enjoy life, loneliness, and thoughts of suicide. Depression experienced in childhood causes negative effects, and as a result, it negatively affects the child's school, family, and friend relationships. While it is considered normal for the child to experience anxiety due to events different from his daily life, it is considered a pathological phenomenon to experience anxiety frequently except in different situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most effective treatment method to normalize and improve this situation when depression occurs due to anxiety experienced above the normal level. In the treatment of depression in children, Play Therapy and Behavioral Cognitive Therapy are used to help the child gain skills to identify and change the thoughts that negatively affect his life, eliminate hopeless feelings, help him develop a sense of competence again, and to help the child understand what he feels and reintegrate him into society.
