We are starting Child Psychiatry clinic, especially focusing on issues related to children like physical complaints recurrent cough and cold, low immunity, emotional disturbances.

💡 Importance of children's mental health:
🌱 1. Early Intervention Saves Lives:
Mental health issues often begin in childhood, but many go undiagnosed.The earlier the support, the better the long-term outcomes.Timely help can prevent issues from escalating into adulthood.
🧠 2. Mental Health Is Just as Important as Physical Health:
Just like a broken bone, emotional struggles need care and attention.Healthy minds are essential for healthy growth, learning, and relationships.
🧍♂️🧍♀️ 3. Impacts Learning and Development:
Mental health affects attention, memory, behavior, and school performance.Unaddressed emotional difficulties can lead to academic failure or school dropout.
🫂 4. Builds Emotional Resilience and Social Skills:
Teaching children to understand and manage emotions prepares them for challenges in life.
They learn empathy, communication, and problem-solving—skills for healthy relationships.
📉 5. Reduces Stigma and Encourages Support:
Raising awareness helps normalize conversations about mental health.It empowers children and parents to seek help without fear or shame.
Stigma often prevents families from seeking help.
So, let's break the stigma and approach us for help.
