Psychological interventions for children (5–11 years) and young people (12–18 years) with mild depression should be provided by therapists who are also trained in child and adolescent mental health, in settings such as schools and colleges, primary care, social services, and the voluntary sector.
Children (aged 5–11 years) and young people presenting with moderate to severe depression should be reviewed by a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) team. The choice of psychological intervention should be discussed with the child or young people and/or their family/carers.
Protocols with adult mental health services should be in place to ensure the smooth transition of young people to adult services when they turn 18 years. The prevalence of childhood depression has been estimated to be 1% in pre-pubertal children and around 3% in post-pubertal young people.
