Another type of therapy for kids is talk therapy. It is also known as psychological therapy and is a great way for your child to get help. During a therapy session, kids will talk with a mental health professional and will say whatever is bothering their minds.

Psychotherapy treatment can be used alone or with medications to treat mental disorders. During a psychotherapy session, the patient will talk with the psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a psychotherapist to discuss the patient’s troubling thoughts.

After the sessions are completed, the patient will be able to:

1. Understand the ideas, emotions and behaviours that cause their illness. They will also learn how to modify them.
2. Understand and identify the life events — and help them learn how to solve or improve these aspects of their life.
3. Learn healthy techniques to cope with any problem, and

Another type of talk therapy is CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on how emotions and thoughts can affect behaviour. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help children in the following:

2. Manage impulsivity
3. Avoid defiance, and
4. Control tantrums
