Sleep and Appetite

You’re probably wondering why sleep and appetite are predictors for depression. Plenty of studies have been done on what happens to a human being both physically and emotionally when they are deprived of sleep or their appetites are disturbed somehow. They become less immune to illness and more reactive to stress. Stress is easily converted to other problems such as depression.

Sleep

If your child is not getting the rest he needs to repair his body and mind, he may become depressed. If you think back on it, has there been a time where you were much more emotional, irrational, and upset about something when you hadn’t been getting your rest? The same thing happens with a child. The difference is that, again, you have knowledge and experience on your side. If your child has been up late studying for exams for several nights in a row, you will notice he is more irritable and edgy than usual. If this lack of sleep lasts for much longer, his emotional reactions are likely to escalate and you will wonder who the beast is standing before you!
