The Work Of Child Psychiatrists In NYC

By Marci Glover


Child and adolescent psychiatry is a division in psychiatry that focuses on studying, treating, preventing, and diagnosing psychopathological disorders in adolescents, children and their families at large. Child psychiatrists in NYC specialize in clinical analysis of how psychiatric conditions in children respond to therapy and medical interventions. The analysis covers biologic, psychosocial, genetic, environmental, and demographic factors. People in various countries were already doing some studies and research about psychiatric conditions as early as 1883.

Disorders in this field are classified into several classes including development, psychotic, mood, eating, anxiety, gender identity, and disorders of attention and behavior. Development disorders are related to ability to learn and Asperger disorder. Disorders in behavior and attention cover conduct, oppositional defiant, and attention deficit hyperactivity. Mood disorders include bipolar problems and depression. Anxiety disorders include phobias, panic, and obsessive compulsive problems.

He solution reached by the psychiatrist results from team work with the affected children. The final solution obtained must be shared with the parent. The first activity that happens when the practitioner is visited it to do a deep diagnostic analysis so as to understand the deepness of the situation. Attention is given to social, peer, family, cognitive, educational, developmental, and emotional components.

The exercise involves numerous other parties like former private physicians, teachers, family members, and juvenile courts in some circumstances. All activities of the practitioner are expected to be in the best interest children being helped. A mental state examination may be necessary during the assessment. To reach conclusive solution, psychiatric and health history of fore parents is obtained.

Many treatment options are available for administering to affected individuals. Sometimes several options are administered concurrently. Common treatment options are family, psychodynamic, problem-solving, cognitive-behavior, behavior, and problem-solving therapies. Parents may also be placed under training programs and/or conventional medication may be administered. All external influences such as schools, pediatricians, social agencies, juvenile courts, and primary care physicians are also counseled accordingly about the situation.

In NYC, for a person to qualify and establish a career in child and adolescent psychiatry, they need to complete four years of studies in a medical school. This should then be followed by another three years of approved residency training in neurology, medicine, and general adult psychiatry. Another period of two years training in child psychiatry is also required. One must show a high level of competency in adult psychiatry before they are allowed to go for training in this sub-division.

After going through the entire training and successfully completing, one becomes eligible for taking the certification examination. This examination is administered by two bodies in America, that is, ABPN and AOBNP. Once one passes the examination, they receive a license to seek employment or to start their own centers for dispensing psychiatric services to the public.

It can be hard to find a psychiatrist whose specialty is in kids if one is not aware of where to search. Hospitals, department of psychiatry in medical schools, mental health associations, and medical centers are the best places to search from. Learning more about the professional is better before seeking their services.
