2. Pediatric Genetic Counselling

Pediatric genetic counseling in the context of psychiatric genetic counseling involves helping families understand how genetic factors may affect a child’s mental health. Counselors assess the child’s genetic background and any psychiatric disorders within the family. They provide information on how these genetic elements could influence the child’s development, behavior, and risk for mental health issues. The aim is to support families in making informed decisions about care, treatment options, and interventions, enhancing the child’s overall well-being and future.
