In “Idealism and Depression,” Lori Comallie-Caplan discusses the serious issue of depression in gifted children. Many young people experience depression, but what are the unique struggles observed in gifted adolescents? Asynchronous development, social isolation, and existential depression are just a few of the risk factors. Although gifted children are vulnerable to depression, due to their high expectations and idealism, you will find that their strengths can be tapped to help them move toward hope and optimism.
