Alya did not expect that the issue would have a significant impact on her child's mental health. However, she is grateful that Namira was able to recognize her condition and seek professional help independently.   "But fortunately, she felt it herself, that this seems like a problem for me, I want to see a psychologist, and she took that initiative on her own, so she talked to the psychologist, and just changed her mindset," she continued.
