Many children and teens experience moments that cause them to feel anxious, depressed or even suicidal. It can be hard to know when to ask for help or what problems they might be dealing with. Here are some specific topics we find critical.</p> <div class="bg-shade p-2" style="border-radius: 12px; padding: 20px; margin-top: 30px;"> <h5>Common focus areas of mental health:</h5> <ul style="margin-left: 20px;"> <li><strong>ADHD: </strong>ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control.</li> <li><strong>Anxiety: </strong>Anxiety disorders can cause extreme fear and worry, and change a child's behavior, sleep, eating, or mood.</li> <li><strong>Behavior: </strong>Behavioral health is the management of emotions and behavior. Doctors who work on behavior issues are psychologists and psychiatrists.</li> <li><strong>Depression: </strong>When a sad or bad mood lasts for weeks or longer, and when there are other changes in behavior, it might be depression.</li> <li><strong>Self-harm/suicide:</strong> People who self-injure are more likely to attempt suicide.
