There are hundreds and thousands of children who suffer from some sort of mental illness all over the world and they have to suffer a lot as a result. However , our own country Pakistan is no exception, and there are many children and even adults suffering from such illnesses which is very sad and cause for alarm. They suffer a lot both mentally and emotionally which is terrible, the worst part is that no one cares about them and they have nowhere to go and they do not know what to do. This is a terrible sort of affair.

We must change and not let our children and youth suffer like this for no reason of their own. However , and the worst part is that there are not enough psychologists in the country who are trained to deal with the mentally ill. Which is sad and something to cry about. In western countries like America and Canada there are very good psychologists who are well trained and they know exactly how to deal and treat people with mental illness.

The psychologists in our country are very unprofessional and they lack experience and apart from that are not interested in curing illness of the patient and instead they are only interested in making money and getting rich which is bad and just very terrible. The doctors must be trained and should be loyal to their patients who are suffering so much from various kinds of mental illness. At the end of the day it is the children who have to suffer who are vulnerable and are the victims of this madness.

they feel left out and ashamed and dont know what to do. In our country Pakistan the doctors and psychologists are not well prepared and nor do they know how to deal with children and also they are not uptodate with the latest research in medicine and about mental health which is very sad and needs to change. We can and must not let the innocent people of our country suffer like this and there should be more good well trained psychologists in our country who know how to deal with children who are suffering from this mental illness and this trauma and all the misery that they have to go through.

There should be NGOS and hot lines made where they can get help and do not resort to things such as suicide an depressesion. At the end of the day , it is the mentally ill who suffer alone and don't know what to do which is just terrible. The victims are actually the ones who have to suffer as a result and that too with no fault of their own and now if we have to help the country progress then we must help the people with mental illness and with mental disorders. because this should not go on like this. there should be justice for such people with illness. they must be helped and their illness cured. enough is enough.

The people and especially the children do not deserve to suffer like this and they deserve to be happy and enjoying themselves instead of suffering like this. We must help the people of our country who have mental illness or a disorder. There are hardly any good child psychologists in Pakistan despite the fact that there are many people suffering from mental illness. we must not let the cries of the children and adults of our country go unheard!. They deserve to be happy and enjoy their lives instead of suffering from these miseries and illnesses.

At the end of the day it is the innocent and helpless children who have to suffer who suffer from mental illness or disorder and are abandoned by the society and have nowhere to go and they dont know where to go. which is verys sad. so as i said before that there must be more child psychologists in pakistan to deal with the mentally ill people now!. the worst and most sad part is that the doctors here are only interested in making money and taking money from the parents of children who have certain types of mental illness and they dont care or have any regard for the children and the innocent people who are suffering from different types of mental illness and that too due to no fault of their own.

This is just terrible and a pity, and I said before that we should learn from the doctors and the psychologistts of western countries who help the people with disabilities and are trained to do so and care and understand the pain that the people go through!. We should learn from western countries as they have progressed a lot and are way ahead of us in each and every way possible. Whenever some parents think of taking their children to the psychologist , People make fun of them and think that it's a joke and that only crazy people go to the doctor or psychologist and they do not realize that the children with illness deserve to be helped and their illness cured!.

We must do something about this as a nation!. We must not let the cries of the people and especially the children in our country go unheard and help them in every way possible. They are not taken care of and are made to suffer alone and dont know what to do and where to go . The fact is that at the end of the day it is the innocent children and adults who have mental illness or issues who have to suffer and that too with no fault of their own and there is no one to help them or to cure their illness. we must do something as a nation to help them in every way possible!.
