Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry

Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry is a branch of pediatric psychiatry that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health disorders in children and adolescents related to the brain's development. This includes conditions like autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning disabilities. Specialists in this field consider how biological, environmental, and social factors influence a child's behavior and emotional well-being. They work with families to create comprehensive treatment plans that may include therapy, medication, and support, aiming to improve children's quality of life and help them thrive in school and social settings.
