The child, like any mature and adult person, suffers from depression, stress, and anxiety. There are a large number of psychological diseases related to children, most notably anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In this case, it is recommended to visit a psychiatrist to treat the child immediately and protect him from Any complications he may experience as a result of the disorder.
In this context, Dr. Zainab Sheikh Al-Arab, a psychiatry specialist at Al-Abbasiya Mental Health Hospital, said, “Symptoms of diseases and psychological disorders may appear on the body in the form of a health problem. We always hear about pain and colitis, a pounding in the heart, dry stomach, inability to breathe, and all of them.” It may be a sign of a health problem, whether in the digestive or respiratory system, etc. When you visit a doctor and do the necessary examinations, the body is healthy and there is no problem, and here the doctor directs you and advises you to visit a psychiatrist to solve the problem, and the same applies to children.”
She added: The child cannot express himself and his feelings, and there are many signs that appear on children and the mother is given a warning that there is a psychological problem and she must visit a doctor, the most famous of which are:
1: Involuntary urination
Nighttime or involuntary urination, when the child is normal and goes to the bathroom regularly and suddenly suffers from involuntary urination. Upon examination by the doctor, we do not find any organic problem, and here is a warning that the child is suffering from a psychological problem, psychological anxiety, or pressure, or the child may have been exposed to a threat, physical violence, or Verbal, and here you must visit a psychiatrist immediately to find out the problem.
2: Nail biting and teeth grinding
The mother may suddenly notice that the child is biting his nails or grinding his teeth all the time at night and suffering from jaw pain. This is evidence that the child is suffering from a psychological problem that must be treated and a psychiatrist should be visited immediately.
3: Colic and headache
Colic and headaches are common health problems in children, but sometimes they may be evidence of a psychological problem. A child aged 4 to 5 years complains of constant colic, and an older child complains of headaches. When examining and making sure that there is no health problem, this is an indication of the presence of a psychological cause. .
4: Stuttering and stammering
If a child suddenly suffers from stuttering or stuttering, this may be due to a psychological problem that may be psychological pressure or lack of self-confidence. Here, cooperation between the psychiatrist and the speech pathologist is necessary to solve the problem.
