Treatment for depression in children and adolescents.

In the management of depressive states in children and adolescents a distinction should be drawn between: General antidepressive treatment, as exemplified by the attitude and approach adopted by the physician and by close reference persons towards the depressive child. Indirect antidepressive treatment consisting in: counselling of the parents or treatment for them (psychotherapy, psychotropic medication), family therapy, or admission of the child to a home; learning and teaching hygiene: preventing the child from becoming overtaxed as a result of his difficulty in learning and his impaired performance, recourse to conditioning procedures, demotion to a lower class at school, or transference to another school; initial and follow-up psychotherapy or cognitive therapeutic procedures in cases of 'endogenous' depression. Direct antidepressive treatment (sleep deprival, phototherapy, antidepressants).

[Hermann Emminghaus. Founder of scientific child and adolescent psychiatry].

The discipline of child and adolescent psychiatry regards Hermann Emminghaus as one of those responsible for its becoming established as a separate branch of science. The monograph by Emminghaus entitled Die psychischen Störungen des Kindesalters (Mental Disorders of Childhood), which appeared in 1887 in the Handbuch der Kinderkrankheiten, was the first overview in German of the emotional problems occurring during this phase of life. It represents, in the words of the American child psychiatrist HARMS (1967), the "cradle of child psychiatry." In 1984, to commemorate this pioneer in our specialty, the Hermann Emminghaus Prize was established. It is to be awarded every two years in recognition of outstanding contributions to scientific research in child and adolescent psychiatry.
