Depression Coloring Pages

Depression is like a bully in your brain, making you feel sad, uninterested, or helpless for a long time.

It’s not the same as being upset about not getting an extra slice of cake at dinner, or feeling a little blue because your best friend moved away.

Depression is a medical condition that affects your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and overall health.

Depression does not mean that you are weak or crazy.

It’s like getting a bad cold or having asthma – it’s not your fault, but it is something you need to deal with.

Doctors believe that depression can be caused by a combination of different things, like problems in your brain, your genes, tough times you’re going through, and even not getting enough light!

Some kids and adults with depression may feel sad or uninterested in normal activities.

They sometimes might eat too much or too little, have trouble sleeping, or worry a lot.

But the good news is, just like a cold or asthma, there are ways to treat depression so that boys and girls can feel better and get back to having fun and learning.
