psychiatrist are trained medical professionals who evaluate the individual using interview and necessary medical workup. child psychiatrists are further trained in developmental aspects of human conditions, and obtaining history from families and care givers, in a manner that aims at giving an opinion on state of the art treatment for the condition. in child psychiatry, the challenge is to help families navigate many "agencies" with (at times) conflicting agendas. also, to help families differentiate normal behavior and emotions , versus thsoe that are problematic or maladaptive.

our natural and innate abilities as parents can be challenged , one would perhaps give away all what they have to not see their children suffer.. it is the hope of a child psychiatrist to be an aid in understanding emotional conditions and treating them.
