Medical Conditions Some medical conditions amongst teenagers and children may predispose a child to act, think or feel abnormally or strangely which may cause a mental health problem. A therapist for teens will ensure that before any mental health tests are administered or diagnosis is made, a thorough physical check is administered to rule out any medical conditions that could be causing the problem.

Violence/Abuse Children learn and adapt to their surroundings and are shaped by what they see and experience. When children are brought up in a violent and abusive environment, that becomes their idea of normalcy and may develop maladaptive behavioral patterns or mental health problems.

Stress It is no surprise that teenagers are always under a lot of stress because of the many roles they must juggle due to school, home, social life and other priorities. Most children can handle the stress that befalls them but sometimes when it becomes more than they can take, they may start behaving differently and become predisposed to many mental illnesses that are caused by stress.

Loss A significant loss of any kind in a person’s life can change them permanently and may cause various mental illnesses, especially PTSD. When children lose a loved one at an early age or teenagers lose a relationship that was pivotal in their life, they may face mental health problems and it is recommended that they visit the best child psychologist Mumbai has to offer so that these temporary mental illnesses don’t become chronic ones.

Self-esteem How children and teenagers see themselves dictates how they feel about themselves, which in turn dictates how they view life. It is very important for teenagers to have a healthy sense of self and a good self-esteem to steer them through life. A child should feel self-sufficient if they want to feel enough in front of others, even if they aren’t in reality. Perception is key.
