About the Clinic
The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is dedicated to supporting the emotional growth and mental health of children and adolescents. We primarily serve children up to junior high school age, addressing a wide range of concerns such as low mood, irritability, school refusal, developmental characteristics, and difficulties in relationships.
Our care is provided by a multidisciplinary team including child psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and psychiatric social workers. When needed, we collaborate closely with schools and community agencies to ensure comprehensive, individualized support for each child and family.
Please feel free to reach out—even about seemingly small matters. We are here to provide attentive and compassionate care.
