Emotional disturbance describes children and adolescents with mental health issues that cause troubling or abnormal emotional experiences. It could include anxiety, developmental disorders, cognitive impairment, depression, defiance, and other problematic behavior.
Available Treatment Options
Therapist interventions aim to reduce problematic behaviors, increase the ability to cope with stressful and triggering situations that lead to emotional disturbances, and develop tools and skills that boost self-confidence and stability.
