Myth: Children do not have mental health issues.

Even very young children may experience early warning signals of mental health issues. These mental health issues are frequently clinically diagnosable and might be the result of a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors.

Half of all mental health illnesses manifest themselves before the age of 14, and three-quarters manifest themselves before the age of 24.

Regrettably, barely half of children and teens with diagnosable mental health disorders receive the necessary care. Early mental health treatment can help a kid before difficulties interfere with other developmental needs.
