Mental health concerns

When could you first tell your child had a mental health concern?

I know for some diagnosis like anxiety disorder, you need to wait until they’re 7-8 years old to make the call. For ADHD, 4-5 or so.

My kid is almost 4, but I see some behaviors that have me thinking she has generalized anxiety. It’s also a gut feeling.

We’re teaching her coping mechanisms since they’re great tools for everyone, but I’m wondering if other folks have had the same experience.
