What is Child Psychiatry?
A branch of Psychiatry.The central focuses of the subject are behavioral and emotional disorders of childhood, but many would include physical symptoms such as non-organic headache and stomach pain in which stress or other environmental factors appear to play an important causative role. Delays and deviations in development, as well as general and specific learning problems lie within the practice of child psychiatry. Childhood period extends averagely up to age of 18 years.

The practice of child psychiatry differs from that of adult psychiatry in several important ways:
1. Initiation of the consultation with the clinician.2. The stage of the development of the patient.3. Psychological problems in a child may be a
manifestation of disturbance in other members of the family.
4. Evidence of disturbance is based more on observation of behavior made by parents, teachers and others.
5. Treatment of children makes less use of medication and other methods of individual therapies.
