Psychiatry / Psychology

Overview

The Department of Psychiatry provides consultation services to the Department of Pediatrics on the inpatient pediatric units and in the outpatient pediatric clinics. Child psychologists and psychiatrists work closely with pediatricians, social workers, nurses, recreation therapists, teachers and other disciplines in the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents. They commonly see children and adolescents who have problems with mood, anxiety, attention, behavior or adjustment to illness.

Psychologists from the Department of Psychiatry's Child Psychiatry Division also assist in referrals for more in-depth outpatient or inpatient psychiatric care.
