How Child and Teen Psychiatry is Adapted
Children and teens are still developing emotionally, socially, and cognitively, which means their mental health issues may present differently than in adults. A child and teen psychiatrist is trained to recognize these differences and modify treatment accordingly. Care may look like one or a combination of the following:
- Comprehensive mental health evaluations to diagnose disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders.
- Therapeutic interventions, such as talk therapy or play therapy, to help children and teens process difficult emotions.
- Medication management when appropriate, including monitoring for side effects and ensuring the right medication for the individual’s needs.
- Collaboration with parents and schools to provide a holistic treatment plan that supports the child's development across all environments.
Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or behavioral issues, working with a qualified child and teen psychiatrist ensures a comprehensive approach to treatment.
