Nowadays there can be found children who are suffering from depression. At a very young age children faces the problem of depression. Doctors have found out a new way to treat this depression problem that is found nowadays in teenagers. This therapy-based treatment for disruptive behavioural disorders can be used as an effective treatment option.
Researchers did a study on almost 229 parent-child pairs after adapting a treatment known as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) that was developed in the 1970s which added a series of sessions focussing on emotions to correct disruptive behaviour in pre-schoolers, Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.
Nowadays the main and major problem is that there is a communication gap between the parents and their children. In this treatment, parents are taught techniques for successfully interacting with their children. The researchers adapted this standard intervention by adding a new emotional development (ED) module to the treatment to target the therapy for childhood depression.
The researchers found that children in the treatment group had improved functioning and had fewer comorbid disorders. They were rated as having greater emotional regulation skills and greater “guilt reparation” compared with children in the waitlist group.
The study provides very promising evidence that an early and brief psychotherapeutic intervention that focuses on the parent-child relationship and on enhancing emotion development may be a powerful and low-risk approach to the treatment of depression.
