About this specialty
Pediatric psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.
Our team of child and adolescent psychiatrists evaluates, diagnoses, and treats a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental concerns. Care is personalized and adapted to each young patient’s needs, in close collaboration with families.
Common reasons for consultation
A pediatric psychiatry assessment may be appropriate in several situations, including:
- Behavioural changes: increased aggression, marked oppositional behaviour, or sudden changes in behaviour
- Emotional difficulties: persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, or significant mood changes
- Social withdrawal: isolation, loss of interest in activities, or relationship difficulties
- School-related difficulties: decline in academic performance, concentration issues, or learning difficulties
- Sleep or eating concerns: insomnia, appetite changes, or concerning eating behaviours
Clinical approach
Our team works closely with families to better understand the situation and develop a care plan tailored to the child’s developmental stage and needs.
