Children’s Mental Health: Mental Problems Can Start At Age 14, Long Term Cure Is Necessary For Restoration

Children's overall health is basically founded in their mental health. They have complex interactive relationship with their physical health and this area of their entity affects the most in their journey of success or failure at school, at work and in the community or society. If there is something wrong with the way they think, feel and act, then these should be addressed at the earliest possible time.

The process of mental care is long term most of the time. One instance is the case with Child and adolescent mental health services (CAHMS) when they had to refuse to care for a 15-year old kid who had mental health problems. They cannot afford to bring restoration to the boy if they are given a limited time. According to an interview with an independent reviewing officer named Sukhchandan Kaur, the 15-year old boy was "neglected for years and slipped through the social care net until his early teens and has been placed with several foster carers who have been unable to manage his behaviour." This boy was refused to be admitted by CAHMS because of particular grounds.

CAHMS want to receive young patients but the problem is temporary care as they want the patients to be settled in a permanent placement, based on a report by The Guardian. On the other hand, Sally Holland of the children's commissioner for Wales said that "Lack of a permanent placement 'cannot be and should not be' a barrier to young people being able to access proper care and treatment.

The mental institutions for the young have different stands when it comes to restoring kids' mental health. No matter the different viewpoints, it is important to set programs for kids so that their mental health is properly monitored.

Some researches present that half of all lifetime cases of mental illness start at the age of 14. The changes in the body usually rebound to mental illness and the symptoms are usually not very obvious at the onset of the problem.
