What is Emotional Disturbance?

Emotional disturbance refers to a range of mental health conditions that affect an individual's ability to manage emotions, behaviors, and relationships. This can include anxiety, depression, mood swings, and challenges with social interactions. 

​

People with emotional disturbances may experience difficulty in school, work, or social settings, leading to issues with functioning in everyday life. These disturbances can result from various factors, including trauma, genetics, or environmental stressors. 

​

Treatment typically involves therapy, counseling, and, in some cases, medication to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve emotional stability.

What are the symptoms of emotional disturbance?

Common symptoms of emotional disturbance can vary but typically include:

​

o Anxiety: Excessive worry, fear, or nervousness that may interfere with daily activities.

​

o Depression: Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed.

​

o Mood Swings: Rapid or extreme shifts in mood, from feelings of happiness to irritability or sadness.

​

o Irritability or Anger: Difficulty controlling emotions, leading to frequent outbursts or frustration.

​

o Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social interactions and struggling with relationships or communication.

​

o Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing on tasks, whether at school, work, or home, often due to emotional distress.

​

o Low Self-Esteem: A negative view of oneself, leading to feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness.
 

These symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and may require professional treatment to manage and improve emotional well-being.
