Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Welcome to our child & adolescent psychiatry services. We understand the importance of addressing mental health concerns in children & adolescents and providing appropriate support for their well-being. In this introductory session, our child psychiatrist will engage in a comprehensive discussion with you and your child, dedicating around 45 minutes to 1 hour to thoroughly understand their unique situation.

During this initial appointment, our psychiatrist will delve into your child’s background, including their family dynamics, educational experiences and social interactions. We aim to gather a detailed history that encompasses all relevant aspects of your child’s life. By exploring their current issues and challenges, we strive to gain a comprehensive understanding of how these factors impact their day-to-day functioning.

Furthermore, with your consent, we may seek additional information from other involved parties, such as teachers, paediatricians, or therapists who have previously treated your child. This collaborative approach ensures that we have a holistic perspective to inform our diagnostic evaluation and tailor the most appropriate treatment plan for your child’s specific needs. At the conclusion of this session, the psychiatrist will discuss their professional opinion regarding your child’s diagnosis and provide recommendations for their ongoing care.
