Pediatric Psychiatry

Pediatric psychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health issues in children and adolescents. It addresses a variety of emotional, behavioral, and developmental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. Pediatric psychiatrists work closely with families and other healthcare providers to create tailored treatment plans, which may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes. The goal is to help young patients achieve better mental health, improve their quality of life, and support their overall development. This specialty recognizes the unique ways mental health can manifest in children compared to adults.
