People should know how big an influence moving is. Some care is needed to reduce damage related to relationships, because this damage will continue even when they are adults. David Hosier BSc Hons suggests “Because of our negative experiences in childhood, we might often have NEGATIVE BIASES in our thinking when it comes to considering relationships.” There is the possibility that moving can cause serious problems related to relationships with others.

Many people in these communities experience high levels of stress from a dangerous environment, discrimination, lack of jobs, violence, and potential exposure to maladaptive coping mechanisms to those stressors like substance use. This is especially true for many families who experience intergenerational transference of symptoms where children of parents with mental health issues take on similar features, such as a child of a depressed parent experiencing depressive symptoms. This is also true for issues of discrimination.

Children who move during their childhood, experience new things and become more adapt to changes later in their life. The kids who move to different countries learn different languages and they ones who move to different cities learn different accents and find out that everyone is different.

Depression in children is qualitatively different from depression in adults – these people are more at risk for more severe illnesses in adulthood, as well, which suggests that depression in young people has the potential to be particularly problematic. 60% of adolescents with depression will have recurrences in adulthood and also have a higher rate of suicide throughout their life (Clark, Jansen, & Cloy, 2012). The symptoms of childhood depression might be mistaken for normal mood swings as pertinent to changing developmental stages, and is often presented as irritability and negative attitudes. Diagnosis of depression in children is difficult for this reason, and therefore it must be stressed how careful one must be when diagnosing mental illness in children (“Depression”, 2014). Furthermore, there is a stigma against labeling a child as depressed, which might make it even harder to diagnose depression in children. An example of this is how clinicians might be quick to diagnose children with adjustment disorder (AD) than rather consider the possibility of diagnosing with one of the more serious and long-term depressive disorders. The nature of AD is that it is a ‘temporary’ psychological reaction to an identified stressor that involves impairment in social, occupational, or school functions. This reaction must occur within 3 months of encountering the stressor and cannot last for more than 6 months (Newcorn, J.H. & Strain, J, 1992). This is tied to the historical notion that children cannot be depressed, even as psychology as a field has evolved to acknowledge that children and adolescents can be depressed.
