When to consult a child & adolescent psychiatrist:

Children and teenagers often show emotional distress differently than adults — through behavioural changes, irritability, school-related difficulties, or withdrawal, rather than clearly stated sadness or anxiety. A child & adolescent psychiatrist is trained to assess these age-specific presentations and determine whether a formal condition needs treatment, distinct from typical developmental behaviour.
