The level of aggression and psychosomatic disorders has increased among Crimean children

In the occupied Crimea, the level of aggression and psychosomatic disorders among children is increasing. Children are increasingly silent, often get sick "out of fear" and show a noticeable reluctance and fear of going to school.

This was reported by Holos Kryma with reference to pediatrician Seviye Kurtmolaeva.

According to the expert, aggression among schoolchildren has increased significantly in recent years. Children often bully peers with speech impairments or other disabilities. As an example, she cited a case where her patient was stoned to death.

The specialist emphasizes that the causes of childhood aggression often come from the family (unfavorable circumstances, conflicts, alcohol). However, school stress also has a strong impact. From the 4th grade, teachers begin to put pressure on children: constant checks and assessments, which makes them constantly tense and live in fear of mistakes and judgment.

This stress negatively affects the nervous system, sometimes even leading to fainting. Children begin to "invent" pain to avoid school. This is an attempt to avoid confrontations and unpleasant situations. Withdrawing into themselves and stopping talking is a sign of internal struggle caused by constant bullying at school. Kurtmolaeva warns that if you do not intervene in time, psychiatric symptoms can develop amid stress.

The doctor also drew attention to the overloading of the nervous system of children aged 3-4 with gadgets. If a child is shown disturbing content, he or she reacts with aggression and hysteria. In addition, Crimean children are increasingly being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

In addition, according to her observations, during the period of Russian occupation, the growth of obesity among children and adolescents in Crimea has been about 15-20%. Lymphoma and leukemia have become much more common among children on the occupied peninsula.

At the same time, the occupation media claims that children in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea easily learn different languages, as they allegedly hear Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar and even English around them in addition to Russian.
