How do I know if my child is having a mental health problem?
assistant
If your child is exhibiting signs of depression or anxiety, such as feeling sad, hopeless, or empty; losing interest in activities they once enjoyed; withdrawing from social situations; or displaying physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches, it may be time to talk with a mental health professional. Other red flags that indicate a possible mental health issue include changes in eating habits, sleeping too much or too little, substance abuse, or thoughts of self-harm.
