Dificuldades de aprendizagem e depressão infanto juvenil no contexto escolar : intervenções

Abstract

This monograph sought to investigate in the existing literature the relationship between learning difficulties and juvenile depression in the school context. The platform consulted for the research was the Capes Portal, in the period from 2004 to 2019, in Portuguese. The selected texts pointed out alternatives and solutions to the problems of learning difficulties and depression, among them, the development of the resilience and self-esteem of children and young people and the training of teachers, who can perceive the symptoms of depression in their students and the evidence of behaviors that indicate suicidal tendencies in their students. It can be said that depression interferes with learning and that in many cases poor school performance is a symptom of depression. It is also possible to state that the emotional, behavioral and cognitive problems caused by depression have an impact on learning.
