It is estimated that one in six children will develop a mental health condition. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) explains that by taking notice of your children’s moods, emotions, and behaviors, you will be closer to getting help earlier for mental health conditions.
If you think you notice symptoms, schedule an appointment with a licensed psychiatrist as soon as possible. Here is some information from NAMI that would be helpful to provide to your healthcare professional:
- Past mental health evaluations and other medical records
- Descriptions of symptoms, when they began, and whether they have changed over time
- Any medications or other medical treatments that your child is receiving
- Anything else that is requested or that you think might be valuable information
If your child reports seeing or hearing things that are not there, without the influence of drugs or alcohol, then you should seek medical treatment immediately.
