Mood disorders in children have increased significantly in recent years, which means therapists working with children or families are likely to encounter clients with this presenting issue.

In this video, Dr. Mary A. Fristad demonstrates her evidence-based approach to treating mood disorders in children, psychoeducational psychotherapy. This approach conceptualizes childhood-onset mood disorders within a biopsychosocial context, and treatment involves an integration of cognitive-behavioral therapy and various family systems interventions.

During the therapy demonstration, Dr. Fristad works with a 10-year-old girl who is suffering from anxiety and depression. Dr. Fristad educates and coaches the father while teaching the child how to develop emotion regulation and improve her communication and problem-solving skills.

This video features clients portrayed by actors based on actual case materials.


Approach
Psychoeducational psychotherapy conceptualizes childhood mood disorders within a biopsychosocial framework; cognitive-behavioral and family systems interventions are used to treat the child in the context of his or her family and environment.

In addition to teaching the child and parents about mood disorders and their evidence-based treatments, family members are coached in emotion regulation, communication, and problem-solving skills as well as healthy habits (sleep, eating, exercise) to improve outcomes for the child and family.
