Children & Adolescent Psychiatry
Children and adolescents commonly face issues that are challenging, if not impossible, for them to battle alone. Studies estimate that half of all chronic mental disorders manifest in childhood. Untreated mental health disorders can seriously impact your child’s health, and can lead to significantly negative personal, social, financial, and community consequences. Fortunately, pharmacological advancements and therapy interventions have created treatment options that can help your child fulfill his/her full potential. The key is to seek treatment as early as possible.
