Dr. Sean McDonnell:

Yes. Children are presenting with this pattern of symptomology earlier and earlier. It is being picked up earlier and earlier. As a consequence, these behaviours have more and more time to become embedded. Relations between parents and child can become quite fractious and coercive as a consequence. It is difficult. The earliest intervention in psychoeducation for parents is to understand where the behaviour begins and the condition ends. That is hugely important. While it is important to get a proper diagnostic framework, a treatment option to address the symptomology early is equally important.
