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.
How Dr. Shivaji approaches this:
Child & adolescent psychiatry is among Dr. Shivaji's core specialisations, alongside his broader work in depression, anxiety disorders, and de-addiction — relevant since anxiety and, in older adolescents, substance use can both present during the teenage years.
Who this is for:
Relevant if you're a parent or guardian in Vijayawada noticing behavioural changes, anxiety, or emotional difficulties in a child or teenager, or if a school has recommended a psychiatric assessment.
What to expect:
An in-clinic consultation (₹600) typically involves history from the parent/guardian alongside direct assessment of the child or adolescent.
