Lucy says that she has always been a little bit, but two years ago she started getting worried and there was an attack of nervousness.

The 15-year-old man says, “I didn’t know what was happening and my parents were not either.” “It was scary. The attacks would be without warnings. It got worse and I started them publicly.”

Lucy started remembering a lot of schools and stopped socialization. She says it was difficult for her parents to see her struggling. “We didn’t know what to do or where to go.”

For six months, he tried to manage his concern, but finally the family decided to pay for a talkings therapy called cognitive behavior therapy.

Lucy says that it has made a huge difference. While she still has panic attacks, she is very few and she is participating in school and doing things she enjoys.

Lucy’s story is far from unique. NHS figures suggest that one of the five children and youth between the ages of eight to 25 are a possible mental health disorder.

Teenage years are when problems become rapid because young people struggle with the challenges of growing up, exam stress, and friendship and relationships.

Prof. Andrea Dennis, a child and adolescent psychiatry expert at King’s College London, also says biological reasons that are more likely for emotional health problems.

“The brain of teenagers is not all developed at once. The part that processes emotions is first mature than the part of self-control and good decision. It means that young people can feel very intensified before developing those feelings, which help in explaining emotional fluctuations and parents often see.

Genith, they say, adolescence, when emotional reactions are further enhanced by hormones and changes in the internal body’s clock that affects the sleep patterns.

So, does the general emotional challenges constitute – and when should the teenager and their parents be worried and consider taking professional help?

Prof. Dennis says that he understands why many people find it difficult to do justice. He considers the following a common teenager emotional symptom:

• Periodicity and mood
• Topical social withdrawal or privacy desire
• Concern about social acceptance or educational performance
• Identity and freedom
• Emotional reactions that seem inconsistent

Providing them is not much interfering with daily activities, parents should feel able to support their children, they believe.

The most common problems are teen experience less mood and anxiety. For low mood, Prof. Dennis says, it is important to maintain healthy routines around eating, sleeping, getting active and staying in contact with friends and family because your child -like activities plan, such as traveling or playing.

He said, “And help identify them, break down and try solutions for those problems that can arise.”

For anxiety, calm techniques are helpful, they say. These may include breathing exercises, grounding, allowing you to focus on the environment around you and can see what you can see, touch and smell, and mindfulness activities.

“It is important to avoid the trap of providing unnecessary assurances,” says Prof. Dennis. Instead, along with teaching calm techniques, the parents should discuss and test scared situations. “To reduce concerns, it can help them write or talk about them on a special ‘anxiety time’ once a day.”

Stavee Golding, which runs the helpline of parents for young minds, says that an issue is the issue that they get the most calls about.

“Many children will have anxiety and even nervous attacks. It is difficult for parents. They can easily find themselves a lack of confidence and decision.

“The main advice that we give to the parents is to communicate with their children. Allow them to talk about what they are bothering them – and if they don’t want to talk to them, ask what is someone else who they would like to talk.”

Ms. Golding has also recommended your child to talk to school as she must have seen things too.

But she says: “Children need to be placed – avoid temptation to run inside and try to fix things. Just reflect what they are saying and listening.”

Child psychologist Dr. Sandy honors agree, saying that the parents have an understandable temptation, which their child wants to solve whatever problem is facing when it is not necessarily the best solution.

She says that parents should help in teaching and creating flexibility in their children – and has written about this for the BBC.

She recommends parents:

• Explain failures with everyone, give an example of things that have gone wrong in your life
• Embrace mistakes
• Empower them to make their decisions, insisting that they are largely responsible for their happiness
• Challeng their beliefs, especially black and white thinking and havoc

“I think we can sometimes make this perception that children and youth are not able to solve their problems when we are running to get help or turn to medicine.”

But Dr. Parents both Mann and Prof. Dennis should not be shy away from asking for professional support if needed.

Dr. Maan says, “There is nothing to be ashamed.” “We just need to know how to try to solve problems and help.”

They both highlight similar behaviors that should act as a trigger for parents to get help. This includes:

• Self-destructive and suicidal idea
• Excessive changes in food or gold
• Dramatic personality change and despair
• Important interference with daily functioning, such as going to school or socialization
• Long -term return from activities that were enjoyed once

Child and Chairman of Kishore Faculty of Royal College of Psychiatrists. Ellen Lockhart says that parents should feel comfortable with their children to reduce mental health and ask for help.

“We know many children that struggle. The idea is that the year of school is the best year of your life, a decline.”

But NHS child with a long time to wait for mental health services, knowing where to go to help, it is not straightforward, especially if you cannot do personal treatment.

The first point of the call is usually your GP or Mental Health Assistance Team which is connected to schools in some fields. With referral for NHS mental health services -they can keep you in touch with local organizations and donations that can provide support.

“Schools can also help themselves – some have counseling and support services,” Dr. Lockhart says.

“But I think parents can reduce the role they can play, even if their child is waiting for support or really receiving medical or treatment. The house is the place where they will spend most of their time -so the parents are a large part of the solution.”
