Children are more prone to depression these days comparing to few decades ago. There are multiple reasons of depression among children. Nuclear or broken families and small families sometimes keep children lonely. Most of the families are nuclear these days. Even in small families both parents usually work hence they are unable to spend quality time with children. Hence children feel lonely and unable to express their thoughts.
Most of the children these days are single child i.e with no siblings , hence they spend most of their time in school, tuition, or on screens which effect their social life badly. In cities like jalandhar a large number of people work abroad leaving children behind with care takers or single parents.
Academic pressure is one of the another reason of children suffer depression. Children are unable to meet parents expectations due to very high competition in competitive exams leaving children depressed.
Domestic issues among parents does also effect children in negative way. Parents quarreling, Domestic violence , divorce, issues with in joint families all effect children in negative way.
