Child Psychology
The contemporary way of life has had an impact not only on adults but also on children. The heightened expectations and demands coming from parents, peers, and society have placed considerable psychological stress on children. This is exacerbated by the trend of smaller families and the resulting limited time working parents have to spend with their families.
While psychological issues in children have always existed, their prevalence has greatly increased in recent times. Conditions like childhood depression, behavioral problems, substance abuse, and alcoholism are becoming more prevalent. Moreover, disorders specific to children, such as Autism and the Autistic spectrum, need increased recognition and in-depth evaluation.
Evaluating psychological disorders in children necessitates a considerable amount of patience from healthcare professionals and those involved in the care of these young patients. Accurate diagnoses typically require deep analysis and multiple sessions, often favoring behavioral modification techniques over medication.
