Should my child always have to have a mental illness to receive psychological treatments?
The answer is a big “No”. Your child might face day to day issues in life, where you can obtain the support of a psychologist or a counsellor. For example your child might just need help with how to study effectively. A psychological professional can help your child with this and in the long run your child would benefit from this support as “knowing how to study” would help him/ her in lifelong learning.
