A: Kavita says: Hi Ritu,
Its very difficult to discuss diagnosis based on this information and without seeing your child. There are definite signs that he needs help and may be developing differently than other children. Help in the form of individual education plans, therapies, social skills training etc are available in Delhi and NCR (as in many other parts of India)but vary with the needs of each child.
As a first step, Please get him assessed by a qualified child professional , psychologist or psychiatrist. Then educate yourself as the parent about his profile of strengths and difficulties and plan the way ahead.
You are welcome to come to our Institute for this service, in case you wish.

Q: Bhoomika from Gurgaon asks
My husband is not working for last two years. This make him i know a very frustrated person. he generally stop talking to me for a long duration. i m really worried for him, is there any need of psychoanalyst? i can not directly ask him to visit the doc.

A: Kavita says: Dear Bhoomika,
It sounds like your husband may need help. Please help him get motivated to see a professional , an adult psychologist or a psychiatrist. You can request his friends/your relatives to help in getting him ready to go and get help. Sometimes its the stigma attached to this kind of problem that leads to reluctance but help is definitely available.
All the very best.
