Clinical Services
Clinical services consist of a comprehensive evaluation of
social, emotional, behavioural and academic skills with an
objective to devise a customised and goal oriented program
to help the child develop his/her skills.
Screening
Screening for mental health issues in children and adolescents can occur in
settings ranging from school to primary health care or specialist health care
setting such as MANOTSAV. The screening is undertaken when there is an
identified problem behaviour that is making either the parents or teachers
worried. It can sometimes be suggested in absence of specific concerns in
case of high-risk population.
At MANOTSAV, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Psychologist work
together to evaluate mental health conditions and provide treatment. A
psychologist conducts an initial assessment to diagnose the mental health
condition. She identifies what might be the best modality of treatment.
Thereafter, a comprehensive assessment is carried out by the child and
adolescent psychiatrist and the final plan consisting of various modalities
including but not limited to counselling, psychotherapy, allied therapies and
medications is decided. Other therapies, such as play or art, may beadded to
conventional treatments. Initial diagnosis is based on behavioural signs as
reported by parents, caregivers and teachers in order to understand how the
child functions in different situations. Often a child will have a combination of
two or more behaviours, such as anxiety and bedwetting.
