Care That Considers the Whole Context
Children and adolescents often need care that accounts for symptoms, development, school life, family stress, sleep, social pressures, and medical history. A psychiatric evaluation can help clarify what is happening and what type of treatment may be appropriate.
When clinically appropriate and authorized, care may include collaboration with parents or guardians, therapists, pediatricians, schools, and other supports.
