Diagnosing emotional problems in children typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional. This process may include:
- Clinical interviews: Conversations with the child and their parents to gather information about the child's behavior, emotions, and family dynamics. - Behavioral assessments: Observations of the child's behavior in different settings, such as home, school, and social situations. - Psychological testing: Standardized tests to assess the child's cognitive, emotional, and social functioning.
