May is the month of National Mental Health. With this, parents are encouraged to be alert with signs that their kids are encountering problems. As parents, make sure that you listen to your child when they feel like something's wrong. Mental health must not be stigmatized but instead, treat them like any other health problems. But how will you exactly know if your child is suffering from mental health? Teenagers that would often intake alcohol (or drugs) is already a red flag. At this point, your son or daughter must have a conversation with a kids' doctor in order to properly talk openly about things that worry them. Mood swings, sudden weight loss or gain, or anxiety are some of the many signs that your child is going through mental health issues. A more serious sign includes your child as unusually withdrawn, they feel trapped, unhappy, or like a burden to everyone. A kids' doctor can detect these signs and help you, together with your child, be diagnosed to be properly treated. Aside from this, there are online tests that recognize some warning signs of depression, bipolar disorder, alcohol abuse, drug problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. If you believe that you want to help your child, Gastonia Pediatric Associates is a kids doctor that will happily cater to your needs 24 hours a day.
