Pediatric Neuropsychiatry

Pediatric neuropsychiatry is a specialized field that focuses on the mental health and developmental disorders of children and adolescents, particularly those related to the brain's functioning. It combines elements of psychiatry and neurology to understand how brain processes affect behavior, emotions, and cognition. This area addresses conditions such as autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders, using a comprehensive approach that includes medical evaluations, psychological assessments, and therapeutic interventions. The goal is to support children's mental well-being and development by considering both their psychological and neurological needs.
