Pediatric Rehabilitation Psychiatry

Pediatric Rehabilitation Psychiatry is a specialized field that focuses on the mental health and emotional well-being of children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Within the broader scope of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, it addresses how physical health conditions impact a child's mental health. This specialty helps children cope with challenges like pain, mobility issues, or developmental delays by providing therapy, medication, and support for families. The goal is to enhance overall quality of life, helping children to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, while working closely with other healthcare providers in a multidisciplinary approach.
