104. 5 Major Issues With Mental Health Care for Children

It's super important to know that you're working with a professional who can guide you in understanding your Highly Sensitive Child's personality trait.  Understanding the difference between the behaviors as a symptom of the parent-child relationship and how they may be ineffectively managed is key in helping your HSC to break out of the meltdown/shutdown cycle. Rather than diagnosing your child with a mental health disorder that may or may not fit because the professional is not clear on the Highly Sensitive trait. Most professionals that are not familiar with this trait also don't realize how it can lead to mental health disorder or being misdiagnosed with a mental health disorder.  Today we discuss the 5 issues with mental healthcare for children and how that affects you and your Highly Sensitive Child.
