What are the signs of psychological distress in children?
Children may not always be able to express their psychological distress verbally. Instead, they may exhibit changes in behavior such as irritability, aggression, withdrawal from social activities, changes in eating or sleeping patterns, and a decline in academic performance. Physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches with no medical cause can also be indicators of psychological distress. It is essential for parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers to be vigilant and address these signs promptly.
