Understanding Children’s Mental Health

Kids and teens experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health conditions too — sometimes it looks like sadness or worry, and just as often it shows up as a change in behavior, sleep, grades, or friendships rather than something a child can put into words.

Our providers work with children and adolescents in age-appropriate ways, and can coordinate their care with parents/caregivers/guardians when appropriate and therapeutic.

Signs & Symptoms

What children’s mental health can look like

Every child experiences this differently. Your child may benefit from talking to a provider if they have any, or a combination of, the symptoms below.

Watch For

  • A drop in grades or sudden trouble at school
  • Changes in sleep, eating, or hygiene habits
  • Pulling away from friends or activities they used to enjoy
  • Increased irritability, tearfulness, or anger
  • A teacher or pediatrician raising a concern

Common Conditions

  • Anxiety — worry, avoidance, physical complaints like stomachaches
  • ADHD — trouble focusing, restlessness, impulsivity
  • Depression — persistent sadness, hopelessness, withdrawal
  • Sleep difficulties — trouble falling asleep, nightmares
  • Trauma responses — nightmares, fearfulness, emotional numbness

Recognize some of this in your child?

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our licensed providers are available to help you and your child understand what’s going on and build a plan from here.

Common Causes & Risk Factors

What contributes to children and adolescents’ mental health

Child and adolescent mental health is shaped by the same mix of biology and environment as adults, however they have less experience and fewer tools to make sense of it. Some factors include:

  • Family history of mental health conditions
  • Differences in brain development or chemistry
  • A stressful or unstable home environment
  • Trauma or loss
  • Difficulties at school or with peers
  • Major life transitions
