Also, children can suffer from depression, anxiety disorders and psychoses. For them there is far too little help, say psychologists.
There are 3,000 children in the Netherlands who suffer from severe psychological problems, but there are often signs of early age to see. According to the Mental Health Foundation is too little attention to it.
Lack of knowledge
So parents would not know what to do if they notice that their child has mental problems. Therefore problems can become psychological distress, a spokesperson of the fund know at RTL Nieuws.
There are eight children with depression, anxiety disorders, with 12-year-olds and 15-year-olds with a psychosis. Psychologists David van den Berg and Mark van der Gaag, who has been working with young people with mental health problems, psychological distress among young people find worrisome. "At most 15 to 20 percent of young people with such problems receive care, the rest do not," van der Gaag says in De Telegraaf.
