due to the different response manifested across a wide range of the population as the depict

varying degree of health disparities. Also, the change in the demographic trends as influenced by

time may give different results of the mental health of the patient.

Intervention 2

Skills to have the children grown regularly, the parents require the training on how to

handle the ADHD disorders and conduct disorders. The children manifest the signs in more than

one form hence better understanding of the behavioral disorder is required. parents with the skills

speed up the translation of the ADHD child to a healthy child.

The influence of the behavioral disorder may result in autism or anxiety; this is a serious

disease which can hamper the health of the child. Parent training eradicates such incident. The

result is the lowering of the challenges associated with the parentage. As the child parent

behavior is a bidirectional relationship. Any behavioral change in the behavior of the child has a

direct influence on the parents. When the child presents defiant and hyperactive behaviors the

parents then becomes stressed and annoyed. It results in vicious cycle where the relationship

between the two is damaged. Parents training stops the trend (Staab,2002). The training involves

learning to cope with the social behavior of individuals this is referred to as the group therapy

involves the smart talk and its relationship with the eye contact. It mainly focuses on the social

interaction which plays a significant role in the healing process. SST helps the person who has

problems in containing the emotional changes of fluctuations. Such disorders include the bipolar

The integration of the social skills training and the token economy contingency

management ensures that the child behavior is analyzed thoroughly. The two aspects help in

noting and detecting the change in the behavioral of a given person. By the guardians

understanding the two concepts will make the easy parentage task. It will eradicate the errors that

can result in such incidences as mental illness or depression. Moreover, it will reduce the healing

process among the children.

challenge for the psychist who may not diagnosis the infection of the child. The diagnosis may

also affect one patient while the other patients it may become surplus. This poses a serious

challenge to the treatments and the analysis of the problems (Matsuo, 2015). Moreover, there

being many types of mental illness with similar manifestation poses a significant threat in the

diagnosis of the ailments.

Other treatments
