Child and adolescent psychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders in children, adolescents, and their families.
It's recommended to see a child psychiatrist if your child is experiencing severe emotional difficulties, changes in behavior, mood swings, anxiety, or depression, or if their daily functioning at school or home is being significantly affected.
Common conditions treated include ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), anxiety disorders, depression, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and eating disorders, among others.
During the initial visit, the psychiatrist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, which may include interviews with both the child and parents, reviewing the child’s medical history, behavior observations, and possibly questionnaires. They will then develop a treatment plan.
Treatments may include psychotherapy (talk therapy), family therapy, medication, behavioral interventions, and working with schools or other caregivers to support the child’s mental health.
While medications can be effective, child psychiatrists carefully consider the risks and benefits. Medications prescribed are typically based on clinical evidence and are closely monitored to minimize side effects and ensure the child’s safety.
Therapy provides a safe space for children and adolescents to express their feelings, understand their emotions, learn coping mechanisms, and improve social skills. It can also involve parents and families to address relational or environmental factors affecting the child’s well-being.
While some issues may improve with time, untreated mental health problems can often persist or worsen. Early intervention can improve long-term outcomes by addressing issues before they become more severe.
A formal diagnosis involves an assessment by a psychiatrist or psychologist, which includes gathering information from multiple sources such as parents, teachers, and the child. Behavioural observations, psychological testing, and clinical interviews are common tools used in diagnosis.
Parents can support their child’s mental health by maintaining open communication, creating a structured and supportive environment, encouraging healthy habits (like regular sleep and exercise), and seeking professional help when needed. Being patient and understanding is crucial for fostering emotional growth.
