October 9
Childhood is a time of many changes, challenges and, at times, confusion. This is even
more so for children with psychiatric disorders. In this seminar, we will overview the most
common childhood psychiatric conditions, including mood (depression, bipolar), anxiety
and disruptive behavior disorders (attention deficit/hyperactivity, oppositional defiant,
conduct) and current medical treatments. At the end of the day, we will look at real world
examples of behaviors a child may exhibit in the classroom, community or home and
understand the possible mental health underpinnings of these behaviors.
