Depression in children?

Question:

Does anyone know if children as young as 5 or 6 have ever been correctly diagnosed with depression? I would like either educated or experienced opinions/facts if anyone has any.

Answers:
Yes children as young as 5&6 can have depression. I know this from personal experince. My 7yr old son was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5. I saw more than just hyper activity in him. I saw anger and telling me people dont like him , him crying. Come to find out my son has Bi-Polar disorder along with me. The best thing to do is take your child to see a child psychologist.
