Signs of childhood psychological disorders

It’s normal for children and teenagers to sometimes have low moods, poor motivation, and trouble sleeping. These things aren’t always signs of childhood psychological disorders but if they carry on for more than a few weeks, it’s important to talk with your child. The next step is to get professional help.

For children younger than 12 years, mental health warning signs might include:
