Abstract

Article AbstractIn this issue of Focus on Childhood and Adolescent Mental Health, we include 4 articles describing studies examining assessment of or risk factors for developing mood disorders in youth.A series of 2 articles, by Youngstrom and colleagues and Meyers and Youngstrom, describes the utility of the General Behavior Inventory (GBI) as a screening tool for the assessment of mood disorders in children and adolescents.
