Best Child Psychiatrists in Vijayawada

It is advisable to take your child to a child psychiatrist near you if your child is exhibiting significant changes in behaviour or symptoms such as sudden aggression, tantrums, withdrawal, sadness, irritability, etc., having problems with normal functioning at school or family relationships, developmental delays or concerns and if there are symptoms of anxiety, depression self-harm, substance abuse or addiction problems, etc.  

The various treatment options available for children with mental health disorders include psychotherapy such as CBT, family therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, medications if required in some cases, individualized education plans, support groups, parental guidance and family support, and multidisciplinary treatments through other therapists such as speech and occupational therapists.

Child psychiatrists often work closely with parents to get more information on the child's medical history, symptoms, and functioning. They may speak with the parents to better understand the child's milestones, family dynamics, and other factors causing their mental health problems. Parents may also be asked to participate in therapy sessions as and when required.
