Question

My child is 7 years old and looks no different in height and weight from a normal person. However, at home or at school, they always refuse to communicate with others. They often lock themselves in their room by themselves and don’t show any expression of joy or sadness. What types of pediatric psychological disorders are there?

Answer

Generally speaking: There are many types of pediatric psychological disorders, such as autism or mental illness. It is recommended that you go to a local regular three-level A hospital’s psychiatric department for a thorough examination, which can include a detailed electroencephalogram (EEG) examination. Based on the results of the detailed examination, further diagnosis should be made, and timely treatment, either in terms of psychological counseling or medication, should be implemented.
