How can I tell if my child is suffering from a mental illness?
assistant
You should look for signs of depression or anxiety in your child such as changes in behavior, loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, restlessness, sleeping too much or too little, withdrawing from friends and family, feeling overwhelmed or worthless, or having thoughts of suicide. If you observe any of these symptoms, it may be a good idea to consult with a mental health professional to assess the situation further.
