Most psychiatric conditions start in the early stages of life. Correctly identifying and treating ill children is very crucial for the quality of life ahead of them. We are dedicated to advancing the care and science of mental and developmental health for all children at our practice.
Who Is A Child Psychiatrist
A child psychiatrist is a doctor who exclusively focuses on identifying and treating thought and behavioral disorders in children. The experienced child psychiatrists at our practice can:
- Help children with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety disorders.
- Help children control drug and alcohol-related issues
- Help review children medications that may affect mental health
Procedure For Child Psychiatry
Our child psychiatrist starts by interviewing you and your child to gather the necessary information regarding your household. We then proceed to check vitals like weight gain and blood pressure to proffer the appropriate medication accurately. Our team will discuss your family background with you for a better understanding of how your family works.
What’s more, our child psychiatrist asks about your relatives, as well as the psychiatric history in your extended family. After you have answered all these questions, our expert then asks your child to draw a picture of the family to help the child psychiatrist further evaluate your child’s skill. The doctor asks your child easy questions about your family.
However, your child might be asked to see other child psychiatrists for more evaluation to devise an accurate treatment plan; Our child psychiatrist prescribes any necessary medication to help manage unusual behavior that your child might have and schedules future appointments for your child. When your child’s session is over, you will be given a detailed report of the consultation together with a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
