The symptoms of depression in pre-schoolers were usually taken for granted and remained untreated believing its just a normal emotional psychological change while growing up. Depression among pre-schoolers is often undiagnosed, untreated because it is always associated as a normal emotional and psychological changes occurs while growing up.When a child get depressed, they used the masked depression where a childs depressed moon was proven by acting out or angry behaviour.

Jennifer Gibson, a brain blogger, wrote about how young is too young being diagnosed and stated that any parent can attest that the terrible 2s as observed from the said children are their being moody and temperamental during their toddler stage.

Gibson also mentioned in her article that a new study funded by the United States National Institute of Mental Health and published in Archives of General Psychiatry showed evidence that depression in preschool-aged children can be a chronic condition and should be given out most attention by the parents.
