A happy childhood always manages to give your child a bright future in terms f emotional wellbeing. But there are 1 in every 4 children under the age of 18 in the United States who suffer from some kind of mental disorders but it is sad to contemplate that 1 in every 2 children would not even receive any sort of medical help for it.
Some of the childhood disorders may include major depression, Dysthymia, Attention Deficit Hyper Activity disorder or more commonly known as ADHD, sort kinds of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders or OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, etc.
It has been found that children who suffer from any of these mental disorders, on growing up, are inclined towards substance abuse, criminal behaviour or even suicide in some cases.
