How is pediatric care adapting to address mental health needs?
The rising prevalence of mental health issues among children has led to increased emphasis on integrating mental health services within pediatric care. Pediatricians are now more involved in screening for conditions like anxiety and depression during routine visits. Collaboration with child psychologists and psychiatrists ensures comprehensive care. Schools and communities are also playing a crucial role by providing support and resources to children and families. Early identification and intervention are key to managing mental health effectively.
