Child Psychiatric Consultation

Child Psychiatric Consultation at Life Care Counselling Centre focuses on assessing and managing emotional, behavioural, and developmental concerns in children and adolescents. Some children may struggle with mood changes, attention issues, or behavioural challenges that go beyond normal developmental variations. Early psychiatric evaluation helps identify the root cause and ensures that the child receives the right care at the right time.

Our experienced psychiatrists work collaboratively with psychologists, therapists, and parents to develop a holistic understanding of each child’s emotional and mental health. The consultation process involves detailed observation, clinical evaluation, and, if necessary, medication management to support overall well-being and development.
