About This Book
Clinical Child Psychiatry THIRD EDITION Making a psychiatric diagnosis in children can be challenging: some clinicians say the incidence of some childhood disorders, such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, is over-diagnosed while others say they are undiagnosed, undertreated, and are a large burden on society. The drug treatment of child psychiatric disorders can also be controversial in children and adolescents. This book fulfills the need for an objective, clinically relevant source to dispel this
Our Review

It tackles the significant diagnostic challenges in child psychiatry head-on, addressing the contentious debates surrounding conditions like ADHD and pediatric bipolar disorder where over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis are both pressing concerns. The book provides an objective, clinically relevant framework that is essential for cutting through the controversy and establishing sound diagnostic practices, making it an indispensable resource for anyone working in the field.

It serves as a crucial source of clarity, empowering mental health professionals to make informed, confident decisions in their clinical practice. For practitioners seeking to ground their work in rigorous, dispassionate analysis, this book offers a foundational pillar of knowledge that directly translates to improved patient care and diagnostic precision.
