What are the symptoms of mental illness in children?

We often see or hear that some adults often develop psychological problems because they cannot bear the blow of certain setbacks. Most people think that children have no pressure or worries, and will not suffer from mental illnesses. In fact, this idea is extremely wrong. Children can also suffer from mental illnesses. So, what are the symptoms when a child develops a mental illness?

1. Timid and crybaby

They only deal with their parents all day long, and their parents take care of everything for them. They lose the ability to do things themselves, and have no chance to compete with their peers in playing. They become timid and afraid of difficulties, and they cry when they encounter setbacks or pain. This is excessive cowardice caused by excessive protection.

2. Neurotic and moody

If things don't go their way, they will cry and shout, lose their temper and throw things. On the surface, they are very subjective and stubborn, and they have the final say on everything, otherwise they will make a scene. But in fact, they are emotionally unstable and take the opportunity to vent. He is very brave when it comes to quarreling, but very timid when leaving his parents.

3. Withdrawn personality

The loneliness in the hearts of only children is caused by the narrow living environment. The unique characteristic of only children is that they like to talk to themselves and are as verbose as adults. They often think about a problem over and over again, and after a long time, they will ask the same question to their parents.

4. Psychological precocity

Precocity is not a disadvantage; many talented and intelligent people are precocious. The precocity of only children has the characteristics of "little adults". Because he has no psychological interactions with his brothers and sisters, he has to deal with adults all day long.

5. Physical and mental fragility

Being spoiled is often only understood as acting like a spoiled brat or playing tricks, but in fact being spoiled means being weak and incompetent.

When your child shows some of the symptoms mentioned above, you should pay attention, as the child may have some psychological problems. At this time, family members should pay attention to actively guiding their children, reduce spoiling and taking care of everything for their children, so that their children can get rid of mental illness as soon as possible and become mentally healthy people.
