Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC)

The Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) is a short questionnaire used by healthcare providers to help identify children who may be experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties. It asks parents or teachers to rate how often the child shows symptoms like trouble paying attention, feeling sad, or acting impulsively. This tool helps to detect early signs of mental health issues, enabling earlier intervention and support. The PSC is simple, quick, and designed to monitor a child's emotional well-being over time, promoting overall mental health and development.
