It can be difficult to know whether a child or adolescent’s behavioral issues need to be addressed with a health professional. But if there are psychiatric or emotional symptoms that last weeks or months, and if these issues interfere with life at home, at school or with friends, it may be time to seek help. Common psychiatric or behavioral disorders may include depression, anxiety or mood disorders. Find treatment programs for youth with psychiatric or behavioral disorders here.
