Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
Puberty for a male child is not that mentally troublesome developmental task as compared to female children. But mild depressive episodes are possible due to the hormonal changes takes place inside the body. Male children indulge in physical activities and overcome such stress easily. Therefore you don't have to worry. But make sure your child is playing well and spending energy.
Good luck.
