A Holistic Approach to Mental Health
We believe in a holistic approach to treating children and adolescents. Our psychiatrist carefully considers your child’s psychosocial experiences, including:
- Family Relationships: Dynamics within the family, parental mental health history
- School: Academic performance, social interactions, bullying
- Friendships: Peer relationships, social skills development
In addition to these psychosocial factors, we also take a biological approach to mental health, considering genetic predisposition and neurochemical imbalances.
Personalized Treatment Plans
We tailor our treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each child and adolescent. Our approach may include:
- Medication: In some cases, medication can be a valuable tool in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
- Education and Support: We provide education and support to both the child and family, helping them understand the condition and navigate challenges.
