Guides for disorders

Parents may also explore our guides that are primarily designed for healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians and general practitioners, to learn more about the most common mental health disorders in children and adolescents, their contributing factors, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. However, this information is intended solely for educational purposes and should never be considered a substitute for a formal diagnostic process, which can only be carried out by qualified mental health professionals. Parents should not attempt to make a diagnosis on their own but should always seek guidance from specialists.
