To be identified as SED, most of the following must be true:
A) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors;
(B) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers;
(C) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances;
(D) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or
(E) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.
symptoms are different for each emotional disturbance they could have so it depends.....i mean an eating disorder symptom would be different than a depression symptom, etc. etc.
I don't think you can look for a list of isolated symptoms because each symptom may be one that also shows up in someone without serious emotional problems. Its about how many of the behaviors are seen in any one person, how severe the behavior is, and other things.
The only real way to know if a child has serious emotional problems is to have him see a professional and be evaluated.
So many times a child really doesn't have any serious emotional disturbance. They just have behavior issues because of some little thing a parent isn't doing. Some of the children on Super Nanny (the tv show) look like they're insane until Super Nanny comes in and gives the parents a few pointers on how to make simple changes.
People need to be careful about making guesses about serious emotional disturbances. Only professionals who have seen the child can make that judgment, and even then sometimes they don't get it right.
