Child psychologist and psychiatrist

Psychiatrists, psychologists and children's psychiatric clinics. Parents do not always understand what psychologists and psychiatrists do and what is the difference between them. The child psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in behavioral problems and emotional problems of children. In the 19th century, psychiatrists were mainly involved in the treatment of the mentally ill, and so many are still reluctant to consult them. But psychiatrists realized that serious difficulties begin with small problems, and therefore more attention is paid to everyday problems. Thus, they achieve the maximum result in the shortest possible time. Do not go to the psychiatrist while the child has a slight tension, and to wait for it to become aggravated, it's like not to call a usual doctor at the beginning of the illness, waiting for pneumonia to take a severe form. In large cities, there are private psychiatric clinics and private psychiatrists. Ask your family doctor.

The psychologist is the most common name for

professionals who are not physicians who specialize in one of the many areas of psychology. Psychologists working with children received special training in such issues as testing of intelligence and relationships;they know the reasons for poor schooling and poor fitness for school and ways of eliminating these causes.

In a child psychiatric clinic, a psychiatrist takes care of your case, he gets to know the child, learns the reasons for his anxiety and helps to understand and overcome them. He can invite a psychologist to conduct tests to find out what the weak and strong points of the child are, or to give the child special skills, for example, in reading instruction. A psychiatrist-social worker can be asked to go to school, talk with teachers, find out what difficulties the child is experiencing, and tell the teacher what psychiatrists have achieved in the clinic. A social worker or doctor will talk with parents to learn more about the child and help in his upbringing. Some children's psychiatric clinics have stationary departments.

In some cities children's psychiatric clinics are associated with the management of education, they have a special staff of psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers dealing with problems of children's behavior. In some states there are mobile clinics that visit different districts. In many school systems of counties and states, there are psychologists testing and treating children who have problems at school.

In a big city, you can consult a doctor or a nearby hospital about a child psychiatric clinic, a private child psychiatrist or a psychologist;you can find out about it from the principal or the education department. Or cope in the phone book.

I hope that someday at each school there will be psychologists and psychiatrists, and then every pupil, parent or teacher will be able to ask for advice or assistance in any problem as easily and naturally as they are now applying for vaccinations, dietary advice and preventionphysical diseases.

Family Service

Most cities have at least one branch of the family service, and in large cities there are Catholic, Protestant and Jewish agencies. In them, regular social workers are specially trained to help solve common family problems - raising children, marital disputes, organizing family budgets, chronic diseases, housekeeping, job search and medical care..

Many parents are used to think that agencies exist only for desperate people and help out of mercy. This is not the case today. Modern family agencies are ready to help in solving not only serious problems, but also minor ones( they are easier to cope with);they help families who can pay, and families who can not( with the help of fees they expand their activities).

If your child has problems and you can contact a psychiatrist or a children's psychiatric clinic, this is the most direct way. But if your district does not have such a clinic or if you have to wait a long time, it's more reasonable to consult a family service agency. If the agency believes that they will be able to cope with your problem, your case will be dealt with. If they decide that you need professional help from a psychiatrist, they will speed up its receipt.
