or behavioral
Young people have mental, emotional, and behavioral problems that are real, painful, and costly. They are sources of stress for children and their families, schools and communities.
The number of young people and their families who are affected by mental, emotional and behavioral disorders is significant. As many as one in five children and adolescents may have a mental health disorder that requires treatment.
Mental health disorders in children and adolescents are caused by biology, environment or a combination. Examples of biological factors are genetics, chemical imbalances and damage to the central nervous system, such as a head injury.
I have terrible anxioty, and it goes so far beyond that. I love my mother so so much. She has rasied my sister and I all by herself, since we were very small. And for some reason, I get these thoughts of something bad happening to her. Something that will take her out of my life forever. I hate having these thoughts. I feel like voices are speaking to me sometimes… All at the same time. These voices, and the thought of something bad happening to my mother. All of those thoughts go through my head at the same time, and I get so afraid. I have panic attacks. The last one was August 21st. (my mother’s birthday) I was thinking about if I ever lost her. I hate HATE thinking like that. Sometimes, I want to turn off my mind, so that nothing is going through it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I know that it isn’t normal. I wish that there was a medicine that I could take to ease my thoughts. To stop the bad thoughts running in my head. Maybe it’s something hereditary? My father is Bipolar 1, and a boarderline schizophrenic. My cousin (from his side of the family), is a schizophrenic. I am so sick of being so afraid, and paranoid all of the time. It has gotten so bad, I think I may have develeped OCD.
For example, crums. If there are crums on the counter, even two. I freak out, and go on a cleaning rampage. I am SO afraid that even those two crums will attract cockroaches. Oh my gosh….. I am terrified of them. I had a panic attack the other month when I saw one. Then I went on a cleaning rampage in my bedroom. Then, there’s the trashcan. I don’t even really open it with my hand anymore, I do it with my foot. And if I touch the trash can (even with a paper towel) I have to wash my hands.. every single time.
I know that that there are other factors involved in mental disorders, but knowing that you could possibly pass it on to your children, would you still choose to have kids? This is just something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately because I would LOVE to have children, but I am afraid that my child might end up with bipolar disorder, and I would feel terrible.
I was adopted from birth, but my biological mother was actually planning on having an abortion with me (mistake) until she met my mother. There are plenty of days when I get so frustrated with dealing with this & I get angry at 1. not being wanted in the first place & 2. not only did she not want me, but she allowed me to come into this world with a chance of me having this condition.
