- What causes depression? How does it start?
- Will the depression ever be fixed?
- How can my mom or dad get better?
- Is there anything I can do to make my mom or dad better?
- Will it happen to me? Will I get it too?
- Is there anything I can do so that I don’t get depression?
- Can parents give it to other people? Is it like a cold? Can you catch depression?
