Young People with Various Medical Conditions
All children are sometimes frightened, un-concentrated, angry, listless or sad. Such feelings and conditions belong to a child's life. A mental illness does not have to be present. Sometimes a child suffers several weeks or even months and is impaired. Then it is more than understandable that parents are worried and feel the situation as burdensome. Often siblings also suffer from the situation. Talking to a specialist can help determine whether the child or the whole family needs support. Suitable specialists are, for example, the pediatrician, the school psychiatrist or someone from school, child or youth psychology.
How to clarify and treat children?
In co-operation with parents and children, a careful assessment is made as to whether there is any impairment which should be dealt with. The offer ranges from school promotion measures in learning or behavioral problems to speech therapy or psychomotor to psychotherapeutic treatment methods. Sometimes the treatment only takes a short time; in other cases, children are dependent on support for a long time. Depending on the problems, the whole family is involved, sometimes only the single child or a group of children with similar difficulties. Parents have the right to explain why therapy is meaningful and what they can hope for.
Frequent developmental and learning disorders are motor disorders, speech disorders, learning disorders such as reading, spelling, computer weakness or a combination thereof. It is important to strengthen the self-confidence of affected children and to prevent them from developing fears, depression or aggression due to the failure. The funding is often held within the framework of the school.
Frequent behavioral and emotional disorders are as follows:
Anxiety disorder, anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and others. Fears in childhood are frequent and normal; they become problematic only when they occupy a great deal of space in the child's life, and the child can withdraw from the peers or no longer learn.
The attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder which is characterized by inattention and concentration difficulties, impulsiveness premature and imprudent action and hyperactivity, sometimes lacking hyperactivity, is called attention disorder. In some children this diagnosis is premature. A very careful clarification is particularly important here.
Aggressive dis-social problem behavior is shown in stubborn, defiant behavior over aggressive and hostile behavior towards humans and animals up to destruction of property, fraud, theft and serious rules.
Sometimes aggressive dis-social behavior are isolated, but much more often in combination with each other and/or in combination with a learning disorder. Sometimes a depressive disorder also occurs.
Youth living skills a common problem in children and adolescents is sleep disorders, which are often accompanied by further emotional, learning or behavioral problems.
Conclusion:
In the youth phase between the ages of 11 and 21, there is a fundamental reorganization in the brain. Nerve compounds that are scarcely in use are degraded, while those who are frequently active optimize themselves. This development is different in the different brain regions. First, the subcortical cerebral arteries mature, especially the limbic system and the reward system, which is involved, for example, in the processing of emotions.
