True or False: Roughly 70% of mental health challenges begin during childhood?
True.
Unfortunately, it can be hard to spot, with many signs of poor mental health in children overlapping with general development behaviours.
Here are some behaviours to pay close attention to if they increase in intensity, persist over long periods, or don’t fit with their age:
– A sudden decrease in grades
– Avoiding friends or family
– Outbursts of anger or mood swings
– Sleep changes
– A lack of energy
– Engaging in risky behaviour
