"I'm indeed concerned, but this child doesn't say anything."
In fact, the child says everything through laughing or not laughing, crying or not crying, and the child expresses silence, anger or self-harm...

▌Behind the child's disorder and complexity is the heart that wants to be seen and loved well. ▌
‧ "No one sees a teenager being raped." - A teenager who refuses to go to school on the excuse of a headache writes a secret diary in his own blood.

‧ "Sometimes I really hate myself." - The self-inflicted wounds on the young girl's slender arms are as countless as her mother's lovers.
‧ "If I'd taken her to the hospital right away, maybe she wouldn't have died." - The girl doesn't shed a single tear at the sudden death of her best friend.
‧ "I'm sorry for what I was born to do." - The last words written by the girl who has not spoken for two years.

Any surface situation is more than just a surface. What needs to be heard most often goes unspoken.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, Hsieh Yi-T'ing understands that for children and adolescents who are still developing physically and mentally, and searching for their own identity, small things that adults see as "nothing" can cause them suffocating stress and impact. The mood swings and behavior changes that adults don't understand are, in fact, the clues that children are releasing, crying out for help: "Please pay more attention to me! Please understand me!"
Dr. Hsieh's gentle empathy brings us together to hold our children, to stand with them, to look into their wounded hearts and to comprehend the source of their wounds. Because when children are understood and accepted, they are more empowered to grow up well.
What children truly desire often don't come out. So let's say it to them first:

｛Don't be afraid, my child. I will be with you and I will catch you.
No matter what you become, I always love you as usual. }

Dr. Hsieh Yi-T'ing (Attending Physician, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, National Cheng Kung University Hospital)

"It is a coincidence for people to meet each other, and it is the mission and fortune of being a pediatric psychiatrist to listen to and help children. Although we may not be able to help every child, we always make our efforts to do so," said Dr. Hsieh Yi-T'ing.
She graduates from Kaohsiung Medical University with a Bachelor of Medicine degree, and is currently doing a further study at the Institute of Behavioral Medicine, National Cheng Kung University School of Medicine.
She was a resident and chief physician of the Department of Psychiatry at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and a substitute physician of the Department of Child Mentality. She has also served as the executive physician in the Yunjia South Region of the Quality Improvement Program for Psychiatric Services for the Mentally Handicapped, and is currently an attending physician in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, National Cheng Kung University Hospital.
