Question
How should childhood emotional disorders be treated? Can they be cured?
Answer
Treatment for childhood emotional disorders typically involves a comprehensive approach with a foundation in psychological therapy, supplemented by medication. Psychological therapy includes supportive psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, and play therapy. In supportive psychological therapy, the first step is to patiently listen to the child’s account of their inner experiences, appropriately expressing sympathy for their suffering, and guiding them to adapt to their environment, thereby increasing their confidence in overcoming emotional disorders. At the same time, efforts should be made to eliminate adverse factors in the environment and avoid excessive environmental changes.
