Mental Health Conditions and Behavioral Disorders in Kids
Behavioral and mental health challenges often show up early in life. Intervention during childhood can make a difference in later years. At Millwood Hospital Branches, we have helped families in the Dallas-Fort Worth region for decades. Let us do the same for you.
Behavioral and mental health disorders in young children can present themselves in many ways. Conditions and behaviors we treat include:
- Aggression, bullying and anger
- Anxiety and worrying
- Depression or mood instability
- Inattention and hyperactivity
- Rule-breaking and defiance
- Social isolation
