Does My Child Have A Mental Illness Quiz

Have you found yourself asking, “Does my child have a mental illness?” because of how they behave in certain situations? An Indian-American neuroscientist, Dr. V. S. Ramachandran, sees “mental disorders” as different perspectives of viewing the world rather than as illnesses.

Dr. Ramachandran and Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist who practiced the Freudian school of thought, have very craftily described the mental health ecosystem of humans. Years of evolution and struggles have made us modern humans, so it is okay for some people to think “differently.”

So, if you see that your child doesn’t follow certain unsaid social norms, you must see their behavior as a part of their personality. But if you think of specific behaviors that could harm them or others, you should seek professional help. You can do wonders for your child by just calmly listening to their story.
