Mental health in children and young people : spotting symptoms and seeking help early
Vohra, Sarah2018
Books
Are you worried about your child's state of mind? Concerned that he or she is becoming more irritable, down, isolated, or lacking in appetite? Mental health disorders in the young have soared in the past 25 years, and one in 10 of those aged 5-16 have a clinically diagnosable mental health problem. This book explains why you shouldn't automatically rationalise concerns as normal childhood or teenage ups and downs, and why you should talk to your child sooner rather than later if you're concerned. Written by a child psychiatrist, it alerts you to the often subtle early signs and symptoms of common problems such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders, together with accurate, up-to-date and expert advice.
