Welcome, Reader!
I'm Kahla, and I am a recent graduate of Miami University, where I had the opportunity to study psychology and anthropology. I created a series of papers for a senior capstone class, developmental psychopathology, which is the study of risk and resilience over the lifespan, broadly speaking. The class--and this paper series on childhood depression--were meant to draw on most of the knowledge I had accumulated during my time as a psych major. I had a great time working on this project, and because I found myself learning quite a bit, I thought this information might be equally useful for a more general audience as blog posts. I hope the following information is helpful!

Many things could have brought you to my blog…
- Perhaps you wonder if childhood depression actually exists.
- Maybe you are a conscientious adult looking for clues that a child may be struggling with depression.
- You might even be worried that a child you know currently has childhood depression.
There is a ton of information about childhood depression out there! How do you, a thoughtful and engaged reader, know which resources or pieces of information are valuable and worth consideration?
Please take a look around. On the right-hand side of this page, you'll find links to a series of posts about childhood depression, information about where to go for help, and a list of my references.
This information is not meant to be exhaustive. As I said earlier, there is an astounding amount of information about childhood depression out there--and that body of knowledge is only growing. Rather, I have attempted to synthesize some of the larger ideas and concepts I came across during my research for this project and during my time as a psych major. If you have any questions, please leave me a comment at the end of any post or on the "Questions" page. Thank you, and happy reading.
