Myths and Facts about Psychiatry
Myths
“Only troubled children need counselling and therapy sessions.”
Fact
Child counselling supports emotional development for all children, not just those with severe issues. It helps with stress, social challenges, and self-esteem. Seeking help early fosters resilience, emotional intelligence, and well-being. Therapy provides tools to navigate life’s challenges, promoting healthier relationships and positive mental health from an early age.
Myths
“Therapy is unnecessary because children outgrow emotional struggles.”
Fact
Emotional struggles don’t always resolve with time. Without support, challenges may persist into adulthood. Counselling helps children understand and manage emotions effectively, preventing long-term difficulties. Early intervention provides them with coping strategies, enhancing their emotional resilience and helping them navigate challenges with confidence, security, and improved mental well-being.
Myths
“Parents should solve problems without professional therapy support.”
Fact
While parental guidance is crucial, professional therapy provides specialized tools to address deeper emotional and behavioral challenges. Therapists help children develop coping skills in a structured way. Seeking professional support doesn’t mean parenting is ineffective—it shows dedication to a child’s mental well-being, fostering healthy emotional growth and positive development.
