WORK PROBLEMS

Children hear, see and understand everything, so sometimes it happens that little ones face worries that their parents did not expect. Often, stressful situations, such as parental divorce, the loss of a loved one, or a change in environment, can provoke inexplicable anger, withdrawal, fears, and bedwetting. On the other hand, sometimes parents suspect that their child has been too active or, conversely, too detached from the world around them since childhood. It happens that, despite their efforts, it is much more difficult for a child to read, write, or count than their peers. In such cases, a doctor’s consultation can help parents distinguish between normal child behavior and behavior that requires more careful help or treatment.

Adolescence is an incredibly difficult time for many young people. Conflicting relationships with parents, bullying and misbehavior at school, demands and humiliating grades from teachers, confusing relationships with friends, loneliness, heartbreaking pain over a girlfriend or boyfriend… It seems that we have all faced at least one of these problems. However, when they accumulate too much, teenagers experience tension due to unresolved issues, may experience an unbearably bad mood, thoughts of suicide, they begin to harm themselves, may experience anxiety, panic attacks, unexplained headaches, stomach aches, eating disorders and many other symptoms. This in no way means that a young person has become “abnormal”. It is just that an abnormal number of difficulties have accumulated around them, which in such cases require specialist help to overcome, which I am ready to provide.
