Some children experience both medical conditions, such as epilepsy or diabetes, and mental health conditions, such as depression or suicidal thoughts. When medical providers at Children's Health℠ believe that a child they’re treating needs mental health support, they call our child psychiatry and psychology specialists.

This team, called Pediatric Psychiatry Consult Services, includes experts in comprehensive mental health care for children. As part of your child’s care team, we work alongside medical providers to make sure your child receives complete care for their physical and mental health.

Whether your child is in the emergency room or is hospitalized, we evaluate them and provide appropriate treatment recommendations, including therapy and medication, as needed.
