00:03 The COVID period has been very challenging, especially
00:13 for those children with differential needs.
00:16 These largely would be children who
00:18 are autistic children, those with learning disability,
00:23 those with ADHD, and sometimes those
00:25 with intellectual deficits.
00:27 Parents have been reaching out to me
00:30 saying that their children are unlearning whatever
00:33 they had learned earlier.
00:35 This is something that we in psychiatry call regression.
00:40 What do we mean by this?
00:42 What are the common manifestations?
00:44 The commonest things that we see is
00:46 the child who may have learned some academics suddenly
00:50 starts forgetting those, or suddenly doesn't remember them
00:53 at all.
00:54 There are those who go through difficulty with sleep.
00:57 There are those who are trained for toilet
01:00 and suddenly lose their sense of it and start bedwetting.
01:04 So these may be some common manifestations
01:07 that parents may see.
01:09 These may often be expressed in the form of anger outbursts.
01:13 Parents need to be patient when they
01:16 see their children going through these difficult times
01:19 and with these symptoms.
01:20 Many children outgrow it in two to four weeks.
01:24 But if it persists beyond that, parents
01:27 should surely consider seeking help of an expert.
01:32 Thank you.
