Vohra, Sarah
Abstract
'I'm worried that my child is depressed and anxious.' 'I'm worried that my child has an eating disorder.' 'I'm worried about drugs.' Mental health difficulties affect about 1 in 10 children and young people, ranging from fears, phobias and panic attacks to obsessions, compulsions and even psychosis. Written by a specialist psychiatrist and packed with expert advice, this comprehensive book highlights the often subtle warning signs of trouble and suggests tactful, effective ways to take action, whether your child is 6 or 16. An invaluable resource for parents, extended family, teachers, social workers, and anyone concerned about a young person's emotional well-being. Topics include: when to worry; communicating with your child - practical techniques; bipolar disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); autism; trauma and grief; bullying and abuse; sleep and well-being; help from your doctor; red flags and managing emergencies
