Mental Health Services for Children and Adolescents

​

In serving the youth, we have to keep in mind the importance of early diagnosis. In young kids’ early intervention can lead potentially to resolution of symptoms. On the contrary, not having an intervention can lead to lifetime consequences.

 

Parents often feel concerned that their kids will be prescribed with a psychiatric medication, causing delays on starting treatment or preferring not to seek help. Keep in mind that there are many interventions that are non-pharmacological and can offer effective help in the long-term prognosis.

 

At JNC, we educated the parents on how early diagnosis should be the first and most important goal in the treatment plan. Depending on the results of the diagnostic testing, we discuss the many different treatment options. This is vital because young patients respond much better to the different treatments as their brain is more dynamic and has a greater reservoir of healthy neuronal circuits that will help in the recovery process.

 

We have an integrative approach where we rely on therapy/counseling, diet changes, exercise programs, herbal options are explored to minimize the exposure of psychiatric medications.

 

We hope you can trust us with the care of your child.
