Our psychiatrists and advance practice nurses will assess your child to determine if medication may be an appropriate part of their overall treatment for conditions including:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
Depression and bipolar disorders
Anxiety
Trauma and stressor-related disorders
Psychotic disorders
Initial appointments for psychiatry typically begin with an evaluation which can last from 60 to 90 minutes. If medication is prescribed, our prescribers will work with parents and children regarding expectations and follow-up appointments.
Medication is only one facet of the recommended treatment protocol for many presenting conditions. Therapy, case management, and other adjunct services are usually included for best results.
