Mom, there is a hole in my heart. A piercing book about childhood depression

Many still consider depression to be a fabricated illness and an excuse for laziness. It is somewhat acceptable for adults to find themselves in the embrace of a Dementor. However, there is much less understanding for children who have plunged into apathy. Nevertheless, according to UNICEF data from August 2021, one in four children or adolescents under 18 worldwide suffers from clinical depression. The book by Alena Shchekotova, a psychologist and expert on parent-child relationships, will help you see that your child is in depression, even if it is carefully hidden beneath a mask of anxiety, hyperactivity, high performance, indifference, or social phobia. You will read about the causes of depression, its masks, myths about it, and learn what steps you should take to help your sorrowful child or gloomy teenager cope with the 'winter of the soul'.
