Relapse and Recurrence in Pediatric Depression
Abstract
Depression is a chronic illness in children and adolescents that often leads to long-term difficulties with recurrent episodes of depression. Standard treatment must continue beyond acute symptom reduction to a chronic disease management model, such as those used in pediatric asthma and diabetes. Within the chronic disease management model, treatment interventions are directed not only at the urgent or acute concern but also at the prevention of future problems. Lack of consistent efficacy in acute treatment studies has limited long-term prevention treatment research in pediatric depression. The impact of long-term treatments, both psychosocial and pharmacologic, is currently unknown.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
