FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.
Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.
