How has the approach to mental health in pediatrics evolved?
The approach to pediatric mental health has evolved to become more holistic and integrated. There is now a greater emphasis on early identification and intervention for mental health disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Advances in neuroimaging and neuropsychology have improved our understanding of these conditions, leading to more effective treatment strategies. Additionally, the integration of mental health services into primary care settings ensures that children receive comprehensive care that addresses both their physical and mental well-being.
