Our Child Psychiatry provides services for psychological problems in children like anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, bedwetting, etc. Child Psychiatry offers comprehensive services to address a wide range of psychological and behavioural issues that affect children and adolescents. These services are designed to diagnose and treat conditions that impact emotional well-being, social interaction, and overall development.
Common conditions treated include:
- Anxiety Disorders: These can manifest as excessive worry, fears, and phobias that interfere with daily life.
- Depression: Symptoms may include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep and appetite, and feelings of hopelessness.
- Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): This encompasses a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social communication, repetitive behaviours, and restricted interests.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): This disorder involves difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
- Learning Disorders: These can affect a child’s ability to read, write, or perform mathematical calculations.
- Bedwetting (Enuresis): This involves involuntary urination during sleep in children who are old enough to have achieved bladder control.
Treatment approaches may include:
- Individual Therapy: The child meets one-on-one with a therapist to address their specific concerns.
- Family Therapy: The entire family participates in therapy sessions to improve communication and support the child’s treatment.
- Group Therapy: The child interacts with other children who have similar challenges, providing a supportive environment to learn and practice new skills.
- Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be used to manage symptoms of certain conditions.
- Psychoeducation: This involves providing information and support to children and families to help them understand and manage their condition.
The Division of Child Psychiatry is committed to providing compassionate and evidence-based care to children and adolescents struggling with mental health and behavioural issues. By offering a range of services and treatment approaches, the Division strives to help young people achieve their full potential and lead happy and healthy lives.
