Learning difficulties have been considered to be a symptom of childhood depression by some authors, whereas others have examined depression as a cause of cognitive difficulties, including learning disabilities (LD). This study examined the prevalence of depressive symptoms in a sample of public school elementary children aged 8 through 11, 37 boys and 16 girls, identified as LD by state standards. Of the sample of 53 children, 35.85% scored in the depressed range on the Children's Depression Inventory. Comparison of the children's self-reports and parents' reports of depressive symptoms in their children was not significant. Implications of the results are discussed relative to the role of school personnel and the assessment process in recognizing depressive symptoms in students with LD.
一些作者认为学习困难是儿童抑郁症的一种症状，而另一些人则将抑郁症视为认知困难的一个原因，包括学习障碍（LD）。本研究调查了8至11岁公立小学儿童样本中抑郁症状的患病率，该样本包括37名男孩和16名女孩，他们根据国家标准被认定为有学习障碍。在这53名儿童的样本中，35.85%在儿童抑郁量表上的得分处于抑郁范围。儿童的自我报告与父母对其子女抑郁症状的报告之间的比较没有显著差异。本文将结合学校工作人员的作用以及评估过程，讨论这些结果对于识别有学习障碍学生抑郁症状的意义。
