How effective are mental health interventions in children?
Mental health is an increasingly important area of focus in pediatric research. Studies have shown that early intervention can significantly improve outcomes for children with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. For instance, a study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry found that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is highly effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression in children. Moreover, research has indicated that integrating mental health services into primary care settings can improve access to care and lead to better overall outcomes.
