Dr Nudman’s Advice on Recognizing Mental Health Issues in Early Stages

Early detection of mental health problems in children and adolescents has wide implications for the well-being of the children. Dr Nudman Psychiatrist, notes that parents are usually the first line of defence in discovering potential problems. In most cases, symptoms will include sustained sadness, excessive worry, irritability, withdrawal from activities, and changes in school performance.

He encourages parents to encourage an open, nonjudgmental environment where children feel free to express their feelings. "Open communication is the key," he says. Encourage your child to share thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

If there is any behavior change, then it's best to call a mental health expert for advice. Treatment can very well be initiated if problems are recognized early. It's better to be updated and involved while creating bright futures for children in the field of mental health. Along with knowledge and engagement with children, we can strive for a healthier and happier generation.
