Proposed Classification of Childhood Depression
Abstract
Neurotic depressive reactions of mid-childhood may be classified into three distinct categories. Masked depression is the most frequent, appearing in children whose personality and family display severe psychopathology. Children suffering acute depression are fairly well adjusted prior to the traumatic event that precipitates the depression; there may be mild psychopathology in the family. Chronically depressed children have a history of marginal premorbid social adjustment, depression, and repeated separations from important adults; in addition, at least one parent has a history of recurrent depression.

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.
