What is depression? What is bipolar disorder? How are they diagnosed and how are they treated? Can a small child be diagnosed with depression and treated with antidepressants - and should they be? Covering depression, manic depression, and bipolar disorder, this Very Short Introduction gives a brief account of the history of these concepts, before focussing on the descriptions and understanding of these disorders today. Jan Scott and Mary Jane Tacchi look at the introduction of modern treatments for people suffering from depression, recounting the stories behind the development and introduction of antidepressants and mood stabilizers. They examine the symptoms and signs of the different disorders, as well as the association between physical disorders and depression. Exploring the importance of depression and bipolar disorder in society, they also look at the link between creativity and mood disorders. Scott and Tacchi conclude by discussing treatments and the future for those with depression.

Too tight at opening
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Light Pink
I bought a size larger for my child, and the foot won’t go in. Her other sketchers slides are great. But I do not recommend this model.

My daughter LOVES these and wears them daily. She says they're really comfy and they slip on easily. They've held up for several months of daily wear so far and are still going strong!

Awesome shoes!
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Aqua/Multi
My daughter is SUPER picky about shoes and loves these. They are easy and quick to put on, run true to size, and most important COMFORTABLE. She is outgrowing them and will have to get her the next size up. Highly recommend for picky kids
