Why is there an increased focus on mental health in pediatrics?
Mental health is increasingly recognized as a critical component of overall health in children and adolescents. There is a growing awareness of the prevalence of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Pediatricians are now more involved in screening for mental health issues, providing early interventions, and collaborating with mental health professionals. This integrated approach helps address the rising mental health needs of the pediatric population.
