Child Psychiatrists are doctors who have completed college, medical school, an adult psychiatry residency program, and a child and adolescent fellowship program. A child psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, behavioral, and developmental disorders in children and adolescents. They address complex conditions and severe mental health symptoms by considering biological factors, and are familiar with psychiatric treatment modalities, such as therapeutic interventions and medication management.
Like pediatricians and other medical doctors, psychiatrists went to medical school and view psychiatric disorders as medical illnesses, which need to be evaluated by taking a complete history of current and past symptoms, as well as assessing other factors that are relevant to the development of illnesses.
