Depression was at the forefront of the childhood maladies investigated because it posed a serious threat to mortality. Moreover, theory and evidence implied that depression’s effects on children (e.g., impaired cognitive, emotional, interpersonal functioning; Nolen‐Hoeksema et al., 1992) were likely to alter the course of their social development. Evidence gathered in longitudinal studies attested to the stability of depressive symptoms during childhood (Nolen‐Hoeksema et al., 1992) and revealed that children who suffered moderate to severe episodes of depression during childhood were more at risk for suicide and prone to manifest social, emotional, and personality dysfunctions as adults (Akingbuwa et al., 2020; Kasen et al., 2001).
