At Family Medical Centre & Antiaging Clinic, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry consultations are based on a close, specialised and personalised approach focused on understanding the child or adolescent as a whole and supporting the family throughout the therapeutic process.

Psychiatric assessment may include clinical observation, evaluation of emotional and behavioural development, family and school context, as well as the definition of therapeutic strategies tailored to the individual needs of each child or adolescent.
