Behavior
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Behavior encompasses the set of behaviors, reactions, and ways of relating to one's surroundings. When these patterns cause distress or hinder daily, school, or family life, they are usually addressed from a mental health standpoint.
What is observed?: Marked changes in mood, difficulties controlling impulses, repetitive behaviors, or problems adapting to rules and social relationships.
Possible factors: Emotional, developmental, learning, and family or social context aspects have an influence, which should be assessed comprehensively.
Which specialist treats it?: Professionals such as the psychologist, the psychoanalyst, the neuropsychologist, or the educational psychologist can evaluate behavior and provide guidance on the most suitable support. If you notice that certain behaviors affect your well-being or that of a family member, talking with one of these professionals is a good starting point to understand them better.
