1 in 20 children, aged between five and sixteen, suffer with serious behavioral issues ranging from refusing to eat, anti-social behavior, disruptive and violent tendencies. Mental health disorders in children can be hard to diagnose and for some parents not knowing whether their child suffers from a mental condition or is just badly behaved can add more frustration to an already stressful home life.
In this series, experts Dr Ravi Jayaram and Dr Dawn Harper, along with clinical psychologists, are going to help parents fast track the process to determine whether their children need medical help or if they are simply out of control.
Bobby is 8 years-old and has never tried meat, vegetables or any other normal food. Is diet consists of yoghurts, sweets and chocolate. Does he have a food phobia as his parents suspect or are they simply giving in too easily?
Jessi-Jay is nearly 3 years-old and not speaking. Her baby like tantrums and strange behaviors have concerned her parents. Could this be the result of her being unable to communicate or do the experts need to look deeper to diagnose the problem?
