Question: Can I prevent my child from developing depression?
Answer: You can’t prevent depression in your child. It can develop because of certain situations in life or it may have a biological cause. As a parent, you won’t always be able to manage the stressors in your child’s life, and you can’t do anything about your family history. But you can help improve your child’s mental health by ensuring they get:
1. Daily exercise.
2. Safe, supportive environment at home and school.
3. Plenty of sleep.
4. Well-balanced meals.
