Help for Children With Psychological Disorders

I've rounded up articles to help children with psychological disorders, because a reader recently asked a question on my What Is and Who Gets Schizophrenia? article.
The question was about recent research that "proves" that low birth rate babies are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders. Research from Michigan State University showed that infants less than 5.5 pounds may be at a higher risk for psychiatric disturbances from childhood though high school.
However, it's important to remember that this is just one study, and not all low birth rate children will develop psychological or emotional health issues! Similarly, not all people with psychological disorders were less than 5.5 pounds when they were born.
If you suspect your child is dealing with emotional or mental health issues, take him or her to your family doctor. You can decide together what your options are, and if you should see a child psychologist or psychiatrist.
And, here are several articles that offer help for children with psychological disorders...
