Child Psychiatry
At Sobti Nursing Home, we understand that childhood is a crucial period for emotional, cognitive, and social development. When children face emotional or behavioral challenges, it can significantly affect their overall well-being, academic performance, and family life. Our Psychiatry Department, led by Dr. Neha Dua Sobti, a compassionate and experienced psychiatrist, specializes in addressing a wide range of childhood behavioral problems, school-related issues, and developmental concerns. With a patient-centered approach, we aim to provide a safe space for children and their families to seek help and achieve mental well-being.
Child Psychiatry: Understanding and Supporting Young Minds
Children may experience emotional or behavioral issues that are often difficult for parents or educators to understand. These problems can stem from various factors such as family stress, academic pressure, or underlying mental health conditions. Early intervention is key to ensuring that these challenges do not interfere with a child’s emotional development or education.
Dr. Neha Dua Sobti has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating childhood mental health issues. She works closely with both parents and children to create tailored treatment plans that address each child’s unique needs. At Sobti Nursing Home, we offer comprehensive services for children dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and mood disorders.
Childhood Behavioral Problems: Identifying and Managing
Children can sometimes exhibit behavioral problems such as tantrums, aggression, or defiance, which may be symptomatic of underlying emotional difficulties. At Sobti Nursing Home, we are committed to helping parents and caregivers understand the root causes of these behaviors and develop strategies to manage them effectively.
Some of the common childhood behavioral problems we address include:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Children with ADHD may struggle with focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity, which can impact their school performance and relationships. Dr. Neha Dua Sobti provides expert diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help manage ADHD symptoms.
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD): ODD is characterized by defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures. Our team helps children develop healthier coping mechanisms and works with families to create a supportive environment.
- Anxiety and Depression: Anxiety and depression in children can manifest as excessive worry, withdrawal from social activities, irritability, and changes in sleep or appetite. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in preventing long-term effects on mental health.
School-Related Issues: Academic and Social Support
School is a major part of every child’s life, and difficulties in this area can lead to frustration, anxiety, and stress. Whether your child is struggling academically, dealing with social issues like bullying, or experiencing performance anxiety, Dr. Neha Dua Sobti and her team provide effective support to help children overcome these challenges.
Some of the common school-related issues we address include:
- Learning Disabilities: Children with learning disabilities may face difficulties in reading, writing, or mathematics, which can impact their academic performance. Our psychiatry services provide specialized care to help children cope with learning challenges and build confidence.
- Social Issues and Peer Pressure: The school environment can be a source of stress due to peer pressure, bullying, or difficulties in making friends. We offer therapeutic interventions that help children build social skills, cope with stress, and develop positive self-esteem.
Holistic Care for Children’s Mental Health
At Sobti Nursing Home, we believe in a holistic approach to child psychiatry that involves working closely with parents, teachers, and caregivers to create a strong support system for the child. Our treatment plans may include therapy, behavioral interventions, and, when necessary, medications to manage symptoms. Dr. Neha Dua Sobti ensures that every child’s treatment is customized to their individual needs and development.
We are committed to helping children lead fulfilling lives, both at home and at school, by addressing their mental health needs with care and expertise.
