This review examines the literature on postdisaster depressive symptoms in youth (under 18 years old) in terms of prevalence rates, risk factors, and theories utilized in this area. Results point to a variability in prevalence rates, difficulty identifying a single profile of youth at risk for developing depressive symptoms, and lack of a unifying theory.
