What is behavioral issues?
Behavioral issues refer to disruptive or inappropriate behaviors that are hard to manage, such as aggression, defiance, tantrums, or difficulty following rules. These issues can stem from factors like emotional distress, developmental disorders, trauma, or environmental influences.
This might include tantrums or impulsive actions in children, while in adults, it can manifest as anger problems or relationship difficulties. Depending on the cause of the behavioral problems, treatment often involves therapy, behavioral interventions, and medications.
What are the symptoms of behavioral issues?
Behavioral issues can include acting aggressively, refusing to follow rules, or making impulsive decisions. People may also become socially withdrawn, experience mood swings, or have trouble understanding others’ feelings. Other signs include being disrespectful, taking unnecessary risks, lying, or having difficulty focusing. Low self-esteem and a need for constant approval can also be indicators.
