Emotional
disorders refer to a range of problems
that are experienced by children and
young people over a significant period
of time, and which impact on learning,
attitudes, behaviour, friendships and
self esteem. Emotional difficulties/disorders
include depression and anxiety, anorexia
nervosa and bulimia nervosa, deliberate
self harm, suicidal behaviour, obsessive
compulsive behaviour and school phobia.
Associated symptoms include reduction
or loss of ability to experience pleasure,
loss of energy, poor concentration and
restlessness, altered appetite, altered
weight and sleep pattern, helplessness,
hopelessness, low self esteem, poor performance
in school and feelings of guilt. Difficulties
such as these require a sensitive and
focussed approach which matches the personality
of the child or young person. The approaches
I use in particular to address such difficulties
are Solution Focused Brief Theory and
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
