Huge numbers of kids see psychologists. I saw one as a kid and it helped immensely.
Yes my son has selective mutism/ social anxiety and a speech delay and he sees a psychologist.
Yeap. No shame or guilt attached to your child seeing a psychologist for general anxiety. CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) is rather good if the anxiety is related to social situations, panic attacks or all round generalised anxiety issues.
Yes my daughter suffers with generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder. She sees a psychologist on a regular basis which helps her with coping techniques. See your gp for a mental health plan which gives you 10 discounted visits per year.
Yes. Would you see a doctor for a general PHYSICAL health issue?
So why not for mental health??
