Mental Illness in Children, with Christopher Okiishi, M.D.
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. 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.

Dr. Okiishi will be addressing:
Mood disorders: Depression, bipolar, adjustment disorders, grief
Anxiety disorders: Generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD,
post-traumatic stress disorder, separation anxiety disorder
Disruptive behavior disorders: ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder,
reactive attachment disorder
Tic disorders: Tourette Syndrome
Cognitive disorders: Mental disabilities, learning disorders
Psychotic disorders: Schizophrenia

Learning objectives for each group of disorders:
-Diagnostic strategies
-Symptoms and 'hallmark' behaviors
-Predisposing factors
-Co-morbid disorders and disorder comparisons
-Impact of symptoms on individual, family and friends
-Skills training for parents/teachers
-Statistics and prevalence of disorders
-Reasons to treat
-How to treat, including medications, therapy and other interventions
-When it gets dangerous, and things to avoid
