Some unique features about child and older adult mental health, i. e. emphasis on 3rd party reporting.

In 19th c. childhood invented as period of leisure and play. New interest in proper development of the child. Emergence of psy-ences helped transform bad kids into problem children . The problem child is worse than the bad child. The problem child doesn"t have full control of themselves. Can"t be held accountable for their behaviour bc its some inherit mental health issue that shapes their behaviour.
