When someone is wetting the bed and it's determined to be caused by Psychological reasons those reasons could be mental disorders, stress or even behavioral problems.

A lot of times it's just that bed wetting is caused by a bladder not growing enough to hold in the urine or the muscles to the bladder not being strong enough at the time to hold the urine back so the child wets the bed.

It's very normal for children to wet the bed until age 16 to 17 years of age and there are medications that can be prescribed to slow down the urine production to help keep the child or teen dry at night.

Another option is to have the child or teen wear diapers or pull ups to keep the bed dry and keep them comfortable as well.
