Features: Dr. Ray Lee outlines practical methods by emphasizing how parents can talk with their children, exchange ideas, explore why children develop negative self-perceptions, and teach parents how to help their children change these helpless thoughts. This enables parents and children to find ways together to overcome the dark thoughts that now plague many young people. Amidst the frequent occurrence of school shooting incidents and the spread of childhood depression in American families more than ever before, from the East Coast to the West Coast, talk show hosts, columnists, teachers, politicians, and parents are all debating: Who is to blame, and how can we help our children? Dr. Ray Lee, who has been dedicated to researching the causes of childhood and adolescent depression and the needs of these children, presents his unique insights on how to save children in the book "The Complete Guide to Childhood Depression." The author of the best-selling "Raising an Achieving Child: Understanding the 'Misbehaviors'" now categorizes the typical thought patterns and helpless ideas of depressed children and adolescents into the following points:
Death is a choice.
My mistakes prove I'm worthless.
I will definitely go crazy.
Drugs and alcohol make me happy.
