This book provides expert knowledge about mental health issues, coupled with facts, figures and guidance. Parenting a child with mental health issues explains mental disorders generally and how they may manifest in children. It outlines the risk of mental disorder in a child from a family with a history of mental disorder, and the factors (genetic and environmental) that can put these children at greater risk. It also explores what is known about the physiological processes that may explain a child's behaviours and higher vulnerability to mental disorder.
