Captions available
The idea
In children, depression can appear as irritability or anger as well as sadness, and anxiety can bring headaches, stomachaches and trouble sleeping.
In practice
A child snapping at everyone for weeks, whose parents took it for bad behaviour.
Where people slip
Both are likely underdiagnosed; Black children are more often underdiagnosed with depression and anxiety and overdiagnosed with conduct problems.
