Depression Up In Young Children
A generation ago, the idea of depression among preschoolers and elementary school-age children was virtually unheard of. It was a diagnosis professionals such as Dr. Brett Greenberger, associate medical director of the MSA Child and Adolescent Center in Columbia and medical director of Jewish Family Services, said "wasn't even considered."
Today, however, that is changing. Depression among even the youngest children is on the rise. view article

I think it might just be more diagnosed. I can certianly see, when I look back on things I liked as a kid I was depressed. Like, anyone remember that Swanny-Swan song from The Lorax. It was rather Gothy.
