To be or Not to be; the Choice will Always be ours, Percussions of Chronic Physical Illnesses on Pediatric Mental Health

Eman Ahmed Zaky

Psychosocial adversities are not uncommon among children with chronic physical illnesses who survived because of the improved management of such disorders and health care’s quality. Accordingly, mental health assessment and treatment of any concomitant mental disorder is a crucial part of the management plan of chronically physically ill children and adolescents. Addressing the psychosocial, psychiatric, educational, and vocational needs of those children and adolescents by a multidisciplinary professional team with appropriate family and social support are essential to help them to cope with their illnesses and achieve their ultimate goals in life. Finally, it is very worthy to let those young individuals learn by experience and modeling that “to be or not to be” will always be our choice and none else.
