Emotional or psychological illnesses in children are on the rise. An increasing number of children are being diagnosed nowadays with anxiety problems, depression, attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism. Today, ‘pressure-generated’ illnesses affect children at the core of their being, and become chronic.
Today, children aren’t growing up like children because of the constant pressure to excel in school and extracurricular activities. Add to this peer pressure, and you are looking at a pressurecooker environment. Only a handful of kids can cope with this load. Most don’t. For children to blossom and grow, we need parents who are truly mature and responsible. It’s frightening to have adults who’d allow or encourage the use of anti-depressants for a depressed youngster who may then remain on them for life. Homeopathy wants children to grow up as normally as possible.
Homeopathy is extremely useful for all types of psychological problems. It helps to restore children to their natural state of health, gently and capably. Homeopathy believes in individualized treatment wherein healing is targeted at the entire system, not just at a specific disorder or illness. It takes into account the individual nature and characteristics of each individual child and prescribes treatment accordingly. For instance, an oversensitive child who is prone to asthma-like symptoms and dependent on his/her mother for emotional support may be effectively treated with Silicea. A differently natured child with the same asthma-like symptoms will receive a completely different remedy.
