Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Child and adolescent psychiatry considers concerns in the context of a young person’s development, daily life and relationships. Parents may notice changes at home, while a young person may describe a different experience at school or with peers.
The conversation may explore changes in mood, behaviour, attention, sleep, learning or social life. Both the young person’s perspective and relevant information from caregivers can help provide context. The appropriate assessment and next step depend on the individual concern.
Preparing for your appointment
Ask who should attend and which records would be helpful. Bring relevant earlier reports or school information if available, without sending sensitive documents through the enquiry form.
Deciding the next step
Confirm suitability for your child’s age and needs when booking. Ask how parent involvement, privacy and decisions about care will be explained.
