EMOTIONAL DISORDERS OF CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE
AT THE VERUS BONIFATIUS KLINIKEmotional disorders of childhood and adolescence encompass a variety of psychological conditions characterized by intense and often inappropriate emotions. Such conditions can be triggered by a variety of factors, including traumatic experiences, family problems or social challenges. The range of triggers and the fact that affected children and adolescents often have difficulty expressing or processing their feelings appropriately underlines the complexity of these disorders. Emotional disorders are often accompanied by a pronounced fear of separation from the main caregivers or the parental home and can therefore also lead to long-term phases of school absenteeism, so that regular participation in school lessons is no longer possible.

By integrating various therapeutic approaches, such as play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic therapy, depth psychological therapy and family-centered interventions, we aim to help young people understand their emotions and develop healthy coping strategies. Here too, the interaction of body and mind is of paramount importance in alleviating symptoms and promoting healthy emotional development.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES FOR EMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Treating emotional disorders in children and adolescents in an inpatient setting allows for intensive and comprehensive support. This approach is particularly important when outpatient treatment methods are not sufficient or when an in-depth therapeutic environment is necessary to ensure the best possible care for young patients. In inpatient therapy, trained specialist staff will first work with the families or caregivers of those affected to provide information about the disorder and develop an individualized therapy concept. The focus here is on psychotherapeutic procedures that are specifically designed to address the emotional challenges of children and adolescents and support them in developing coping strategies. Drug therapy can be used as a supportive measure if necessary to promote emotional stability and ensure the success of the therapy.
