Neurosis represents the certain violation affecting mentality of the person. As a rule, this state is reversible. It is possible to cure a neurotic state both at the adult, and at the child. That correction of violation took place in children's age quickly and successfully, it is important to define the prime cause. And also parents should know what children directly get into risk group.
Children's neurosis, regardless of its form, develops in view of the psychoinjuring circumstances. In one case the strong fright, in another – certain really difficult life circumstances can become the cause of neurosis. The large role is played by specific features of the personality. Experts allocate five most widespread bases which provoke developing of neurosis at children's age.
The typical causes of neurosises at children
It is worth making a reservation at once that neurosis is such disease state which can be descended. Therefore some doctors hold the opinion that if the child had a neurosis, it means was genetically predisposed to it. Besides, there is one more nuance: quite often neurotic violation is formed on the basis of there is nobody a somatic disease. In that case neurosis becomes a symptom of a physiological disease, accompanies it and recovers only in a situation when the disease disappears.
In other cases the neurotic violation, as a rule, arises in view of the following reasons:
- wrong - toxic - education; excessive control, hyper guardianship, physical punishments as an educational tool are capable to generate neurosis;
- adverse living conditions; statistically, children who live and grow in inadequate conditions, very often have neurosises; the neurotic state can develop at the child who is completely provided to himself in which parents are not engaged at all; violations of mentality are formed at those children who are forced to live in family with parents aggressors, in conditions when any of the immediate environment has alcohol addiction and so on;
- sharp changes in habitual living conditions; moving, a divorce of mom and dad, the beginning of training at school, the birth of the sister or brother – all this can become the prime cause from behind which the child will have neurosis symptoms;
- crisis situations, severe and long stress, constant internal overstrain also belong in category of the reasons why there is children's neurosis;
- the conflicts which are constantly present at the child's life can gradually cause neurotic violation; quarrels and problems can be as in family, and, for example, in school collective.
In rare instances neurosis develops as a result of severe intoxication of a children's organism.
Risk group
Not each child, having even got into a situation which can become the cause of neurosis, faces further development of a negative state. What children are more subject to formation of neurotic violation?
Quite often neurosis arises at those children who possess rather weak nervous system. If the child very impressionable, by the nature disturbing and timid, then he is in risk group. Attentively it is necessary to belong and to those children who are not able to overcome a stress at all, take various events which especially have negative coloring too very much to heart. The hypochondriac children inclined to "jamming" in a situation and emotions, also are in risk group.
Most often neurotic violation develops at preschool children. However some teenagers get too to category of those who can have a neurosis. The special risk appears when the teenager leads too active life, it is very loaded, being engaged both at school, and in any circles, sections.
For leading children who seek to dominate all the time and are drawn towards manipulative behavior, development of neurosis is also typical.
In risk group there are also those persons who have very rich imagination which are inclined to dream long, plunging into the nonexistent worlds and situations. Besides, parents of the child introvert should watch closely him as statistically introverts are especially strongly subject to risk of development of a neurotic state and at children's age, and in adulthood especially.
