Are the symptoms and causes in childhood vs. adult depression similar? Are they separate disorders?

Question:

I'm looking for more scentific as opposed to theoretical answers here, preferably with references, but anything is good!

Thanks!
Answers:
Yes, it's pretty much the same. The difference is that adults need more headlines to speak of depression. Children need less symptoms to speak about depression.
Also, adults can say things wich children can't. Therefor it's somethimes for a child enough to show it, where adults are wise enough to say it. Hope I don't sound vague. In great lines depression is the same. But, we need to worry sooner if there's a child involved.
