    • To highlight the limitations and utility of current diagnostic techniques in prepubertal children.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic interviews, self-report inventories, projective tests, peer ratings, and biological markers.
    • Analysis of the reliability and validity of existing childhood depression assessment tools.

    Main Results:

    • Current methods for assessing childhood depression, including interviews and inventories, often lack robust reliability and validity studies.
    • Despite limitations, these diverse techniques can aid in the diagnostic process for prepubertal depression.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of childhood depression requires more than just standardized tools.
    • Individualized clinical evaluation and expert judgment are essential for reliable diagnosis of major depression in children.
