Substance abuse may lead to social, physical, emotional, and job-related problems.
Adolescence is a crucial time for biological, psychological, and social development. It is also a time when substance addiction and its adverse effects are more likely to occur. In a survey in India, 12.5% of the students used or abused any one of the substances, 15.1 % were among the urban students and 10.7 % were among their rural counterparts.
Psychoactive substance use can lead to dependence syndrome-a cluster of behavioural, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated substance use and that typically include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling its use, persisting in its use despite harmful consequences.
In spite of being aware of the harmful effects of substance use, adolescents take up this habit. This requires comprehensive prevention and control programs. Effective measures are required to encourage shaping the attitude of adolescents toward self-confidence and adequacy, as also to prevent risk behavior.
A timely intervention by a counseling psychologist can guide the affected persons to come out of the addiction and lead a normal life.

LEARNING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN
Many children may struggle in school with some topics or skills from time to time. When children try hard and still struggle with a specific set of skills over time, it could be a sign of a learning disorder. Having a learning disorder means that a child has difficulty in one or more areas of learning, even when overall intelligence or motivation is not affected. Dyslexia (Difficulty with reading, Dysgraphia (Difficulty with writing) and Dyscalculia (Difficulty with maths) are some of the common disabilities amongst the children.
Some of the symptoms of learning disorders are
• Difficulty telling right from left
• Reversing letters, words, or numbers, after first or second grade
• Difficulties recognizing patterns or sorting items by size or shape
• Difficulty understanding and following instructions or staying organized
• Difficulty remembering what was just said or what was just read
• Lacking coordination when moving around
• Difficulty doing tasks with the hands, like writing, cutting, or drawing
• Difficulty understanding the concept of time

Children with learning disorders may feel frustrated that they cannot master a subject despite trying hard, and may act out, act helpless, or withdraw. Learning disorders can also be present with emotional or behavioral disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or anxiety. The combination of problems can make it particularly hard for a child to succeed in school. Properly diagnosing each disorder is crucial, so that the child can get the right kind of help for each.
Treatment for learning disorders
Children with learning disorders often need extra help and instruction that are individually prepared for them. An evaluation by a professional is needed who will prepare and conduct a specialized program for the child. Past experience shows that substantial improvements are found in the children.

“Often people with high Math Anxiety know how to do the math. They are not necessarily lacking the knowledge. It’s an overreaction to math that takes up cognitive resources in their brains and prevents them from assessing the skills and knowledge they need to solve the problem”, says Molly Jameson, PhD, educational psychologist at the University of Northern Colorado.
“Most researchers aren’t thinking about math anxiety, but it affects people’s performance whenever you’re measuring, anything numerical. Any time you’re dealing with numbers in your research, you’ll have an effect of math anxiety” says Pooja Sidney, PhD, University of Kentucky. Sidney further says that for people who don’t have math anxiety, it can be strange to imagine someone being so scared of mathematics. But a child with math anxiety can’t just get over it because an adult tells them math is easy.
Treatment for math anxiety may involve a combination of therapies by a psychologist and support from teachers and family members.
If your child is suffering with math anxiety, contact a counsellor immediately.

20.5% of youth worldwide now struggle with anxiety symptoms. Some main anxiety disorder types are:
1. Generalized anxiety disorder: These kids are worried across the board – about their performance, their friends group, their health, their parents’ health etc. The youth may experience psychological anxiety such as upset stomach, muscle tension, difficulty in relaxing, difficulty in falling asleep, difficulty in concentrating and feeling fatigued.
2. Social anxiety disorder : These young children are intensely afraid of social situations where they might feel embarrassed or judged and will avoid the situation. They generally have difficulty in making friends, avoiding social situations and feeling shaky, sweaty or nauseous in feared social settings.
3. Panic disorder. This condition is marked by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and persistence concern and worry about having another attack. Panic attacks are abrupt surges of intense fear or extreme discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes, accompanied by physical and cognitive symptoms like palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, fear of going crazy or fear of dying.
4. Selective mutism: Children with selective mutism have no trouble in talking in situations where they are comfortable – at home or with others they feel close to—but with new people and in new places, there is almost a freeze response.
(Source: Monitor on Psychology, A publication of the American Psychological Association, October 2022.)
There are many other types of anxiety disorders. All anxiety disorders are treatable and can be controlled.
If you find any such disorders in the children, please consult a psychologist at the earliest.
