Pediatric psychiatrists and psychoanalysts at
Beaumont’s Children’s offer assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment of behavioral, emotional and developmental disorders, with
special attention and sensitivity to each individual’s strengths and
weaknesses. At Beaumont’s Center for Human Development,
adolescent and child psychiatrists join developmental-behavioral
pediatricians, psychologists, educators and a social worker to provide a
unique range of services to learning or developmentally disabled
children and young adults.
Beaumont Children’s also offers comprehensive psychiatric
evaluation and treatment by a board-certified child and adolescent
psychiatrist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. Treatment
includes medication consultation and management, a rapidly advancing
specialty area called psychopharmacology.
Among the pediatric psychiatric conditions we evaluate and treat are:
- anxiety
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- depression
- mental illness
A comprehensive psychiatric examination includes obtaining a
biopsychosocial history, performing a mental status examination,
ordering any additional testing, and obtaining records (with parental
permission) from the child’s school, pediatrician and other agencies as
indicated.
Our pediatric psychiatrists are also involved in resident and medical
education at Wayne State University and Beaumont hospitals. In
addition, they frequently serve the community as medical experts by
lecturing at schools and churches on anxiety and depression in children.
