Understanding children's mental health (with Katyana Azman)

Is is possible for children to have mental health struggles, or are they just "acting out"?  How should parents and caregivers handle social media when it comes to the kids they care for? How does a child psychologist work with parents and children to provide mental health support? In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning is joined by Katyana Azman to discuss these questions and more. Katyana is a Consultant Child Psychologist at Pantai Hospital, specialising in supporting children and adolescents with psychological and neurodevelopmental disorders. They also discuss the impact on children's mental health as they adjusted to the 'new norms' of Covid-19 including extended lockdown periods, and how parents and caregivers can get help if they feel a child they support might have mental health issues.
