Diagnosis of the myriad of mental disorders which can impact children can often be a complex and challenging task for any healthcare pediatrician. The disorders can range from attention deficient/hyperactivity (including autism), anxiety-related disorders, mood disorders (including depression) and borderline personality or disruptive behaviors including eating disorders. Often times the possible treatment and interventions for the individual may be more successful when a combination of pharmacotherapy (drug use) and psychotherapy (talk therapy) are used. The success of the treatment is often entirely based upon the practitioner’s experience, application of those approaches reported in the literature for adults and use of Green’s Psychopharmacology in Children and Adolescents (ISBN-13:9781975105600).
