Child is over 16 this year, saying that sleep is not good before school starts, what to do?

Patient's question:

The child is now over 16 years old. Since August 1st, when the senior high school semester started, he has been having trouble sleeping. Later, he went to the Central Hospital for a follow-up visit and took medication for about 10 days. After that, he could basically tolerate going to school, but by the end of December, he refused to take the final exams and took a week off. During his time off, we went to the provincial psychiatric hospital for a follow-up visit, and there were test results. On January 1st, he returned to school, but on the 2nd, he gave away his meal and water cards, saying he couldn’t go anymore. Now he is at home, and others are suggesting that he get acupuncture, with sessions scheduled every other day.

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, the child exhibits moderate to severe tendencies in areas such as being forced, depression, and hostility. The child is in adolescence, sensitive, and experiences significant emotional fluctuations. One major change during adolescence is that previously unknown energy begins to advance, becoming so powerful that it causes panic. It is essential to channel this energy in positive and beneficial ways, such as through physical exercise. It is recommended to communicate with the child, understand their true thoughts, provide emotional encouragement, spend more time with them and less on scolding, and give the child the opportunity to make their own decisions. Maintaining emotional stability is the most fertile ground for the child. If necessary, seek hypnotherapy or imagery from local psychological counseling institutions to find the root cause and address the issue accordingly. Wishing you happiness!
