I Want My Kid Back: Treating Emotional Dysregulation

I Want My Kid Back: Treating Emotional Dysregulation is about children who suffer from biologically driven mental illness. The COVID-19 Pandemic has shown a spotlight on the crisis of youth and mental illness. Several childhood mental-health issues are caused by emotional dysregulation. This biologically driven issue often manifests as behavior problems, resulting in lack of appropriate treatment. Dr. Kristin Russell, clinical psychologist and mother of a son with emotional dysregulation, shares her family’s struggle to understand what was causing his problems and the journey to find effective treatment. Barriers to such treatment options are identified.
