The Role Of Parents In Helping Children Overcome Psychiatric Issues

According to research by Duke Medicine, children who experience depression, anxiety, or behavioral issues are likely to face many difficulties when they become adults, even if the condition is mild or there are just intermittent bouts. Some of these outcomes are troubles in education and getting or keeping a job, criminal offenses, addiction, instability, and many more.

The study,though, did not single out psychiatric illnesses as the main reason for the respondents experiencing the aforementioned problems.There are other probable triggers, but having a psychiatric diagnosis or anything close to it substantially increased the odds.

Thus, there should be an emphasis in implementing early intervention to ensure that the children can transition successfully into adulthood.

While the help of medical professionals is recommended, it is arguably the parents who play the most significant role.

First of all, the parents should not discount any sign of mental health issues as “just a phase.” If there is an indication of an underlying problem, the child must be brought to a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and to educate parents on proper steps to take.

After which, the parents should ensure that the children’s psyche is healthy through correct parenting, providing the right nutrition for the children, and encouraging the kids to participate in physically-engaging activities or exercises.
