Learn About Common Youth Mental Health Disorders

It can be normal for everyone to experience some anxiety as a part of life. For a child, they may feel anxious about taking a test, basketball tryouts, the school dance, meeting new classmates or various other life experiences. These moments occur for everyone and stem from feelings of excitement, joy, fear or uncertainty. When these feelings are no longer temporary and become so big that they’re difficult to manage, that is a sign of an anxiety disorder. The anxiety gets worse over time and doesn’t go away. It may grow so severe that the symptoms interfere with everyday activities and are reducing a child’s quality of life. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health disorders in children and it can be significantly reduced or eliminated with treatment and support.

Suicidal Ideation: What It Is, Signs & Symptoms, and How to Help a Child Who Is Struggling

We all experience times in our lives when we feel sad – that’s part of life. But when feelings of unhappiness grow so strong that they feel unmanageable or last for long periods, the person experiencing them might be struggling with depression. This can become a serious condition that interferes with a person’s ability to live their day-to-day life and may require professional treatment to stabilize and manage symptoms. It can be difficult for a child or teen to understand and explain what they are feeling so caregivers need to pay close attention to their behaviors. Signs that a child is experiencing depression may include feelings of hopelessness, changes in eating or sleeping habits, avoiding activities they once enjoyed, and increased irritability or anger. Learn more about depression and what you can do to help a child with depression at www.cambermentalhealth.org/depression.

Ideación suicida: Qué es, signos y síntomas, y cómo ayudar a un niño está pasando por una crisis

Todos pasamos por momentos en los que nos sentimos tristes. Esto es parte de la vida. Sin embargo, cuando los sentimientos de infelicidad son tan intensos que resultan incontrolables o duran mucho tiempo, es posible que la persona que los experimenta esté luchando contra la depresión. Esto puede convertirse en una afección grave que interfiere en la capacidad de la persona para vivir su día a día y puede que un tratamiento profesional sea necesario para estabilizar y controlar los síntomas. Puede ser difícil para un niño o adolescente entender y explicar lo que siente, por lo que los cuidadores deben prestar mucha atención a sus comportamientos. Los signos de que un niño está experimentando una depresión pueden incluir sentimientos de desesperanza, cambios en los hábitos alimenticios o de sueño, evitar actividades que antes disfrutaban y un aumento de la irritabilidad o la ira.

Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools and KVC Hospitals are working together to provide training to the school district staff on how to support students impacted by trauma. The training is made possible through a generous $175,000 grant awarded to KCKPS by the Wyandotte Health Foundation. Childhood trauma can leave lasting negative impacts on attention, memory, social/emotional skills and cognition, which may lead to behavioral problems in the classroom, poor attendance at school, increased drop-out rates and health issues. Creating trauma-informed schools is vital to help more students succeed and improve the overall health in the community.
