Night Terrors treatment in Tlalpan

Night terrors are generally a sleep disorder that appears mostly in childhood: the child seems to wake up frightened, cries or screams, but remains asleep and usually does not remember the episode the next day. They tend to decrease with age.

How it shows up: episodes of agitation, crying, or screaming during the first hours of sleep, with a frightened expression and without fully recognizing the surroundings or the people nearby.

When to see a specialist? When the episodes are very frequent, intense, go on for a long time, or noticeably disrupt the family's rest.

Which specialist treats it? A pediatrician can guide the initial evaluation, and a psychologist provides support when a deeper look is needed. If these episodes are a concern at home, discussing them with a professional helps in understanding them and managing them more calmly.
