Signs to know if your child needs therapy

There are several phases in a child’s life which you as a parent can deal with easily. But there are some phrases that require the attention of someone who is not a parent or a doctor, but maybe a therapist.

Mental issues are real and can affect people of all age groups, including kids. Right from anxiety to depression, kids are equally prone to mental issues. You and your child might be close to each other, but sometimes your child may not be comfortable in sharing everything; which is okay because that’s where the therapist comes in. You need to accept they need help and provide them with the opportunity to be heard. Here are some signs that your kids need help.

If your child mentions a lot about suicide or murder, you must take the help of a therapist.
