Measuring Depression in Children and Young People

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Screening for Depression and Other Psychological Problems in Diabetes

Abstract

Diabetes is not simply a public health burden but rather a very personal daily challenge for people living with the disease. Diabetes and its management impose additional cognitive and emotional burdens that can take the form of increased vigilance to dietary intake, symptom monitoring, and frustrations with blood glucose excursions. For the child or young person with diabetes, this daily challenge is superimposed on physical development, competing priorities with age-appropriate activities, and a family environment that is constantly adapting to diabetes and its management. For these reasons, the child with diabetes can experience difficulties in psychological adjustment, and identification, prevention, and treatment of these difficulties are essential. Likewise, those administering to the child or young person, namely, parents or other family members, may also experience problems from a psychological functioning standpoint. This chapter aims to provide a context to understanding the potential difficulties, how to measure areas of risk including depression and anxiety, and how to use that information in clinical practice. Recommendations are provided in order to screen for psychological adjustment difficulties, particularly depression, and how to respond to positive screenings and potential referral options for intervention.
