Do you think you would be able to tell if your child has depression?

I would hope if I had a kid that they would feel comfortable just telling me they were depressed.
Aside from that it is pretty easy to see when you live with someone if you know what to look for, in my opinion. Isolating a ton, neglecting self care, room a mess. They look tired all the time. Depending on the individual you may notice self harm injuries, on forearms or thighs typically. But not all people self injure when depressed.
If you don't live with someone it can be difficult to take notice of.
