my daughter has mood swings of anger sadness and happiness, they say that depression in children comes out more in anger, adults are more likely to shut themselves off from the world, where as kids just get mad. I think part of it because they do nor feel right on the inside and they really do not what is going on and it is frustrating for them., my daughter can have some pretty major agressive behaviors, she is on meds but they are not working, we rae getting ready to start some new services and they are looking to change her meds, she is in therapy and we just take it one day at time,

Definitely! I studied this in college and I have clinical depression. My son has it also. He def has anger moments. Sometimes I don't even know what to do with him. I try to find ways for him to get his anger out in a healthy manor, but it is hard sometimes, I know.
