Yes. Serenity Health Telepsychiatry provides psychiatric care for children beginning at age five, as well as adolescents, adults, and older adults through secure telehealth appointments.
Mental health concerns can appear differently depending on a person’s age and stage of development. In children, changes involving behavior, school performance, attention, sleep, emotions, relationships, or family routines may sometimes indicate that additional support or evaluation is appropriate.
Parents and caregivers play an important role in pediatric psychiatric care. Depending on the child’s age and concerns, an evaluation may include discussion of developmental history, behavior at home and school, medical history, family observations, and information from other appropriate sources.
Seeking a psychiatric evaluation doesn’t mean assuming that your child has a particular condition. Sometimes a parent simply recognizes: “Something has changed, my child is struggling, and I want to understand how to help.”
That is a completely appropriate place to begin.
