Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Dr. Mujahid Shaikh specializes in assessment and treatment of mental health issues in children and adolescents, addressing a range of conditions that affect young individuals. His approach focuses on understanding the unique developmental needs and challenges faced by younger patients, ensuring they receive appropriate care in a supportive environment.

  • Comprehensive Assessments: Dr. Shaikh conducts thorough evaluations to diagnose mental health conditions, including developmental disorders, anxiety, and mood disorders.

  • Individualized Treatment Plans: Treatment plans are tailored to each child’s specific needs and may include evidence-based therapies, such as play therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These therapies are designed to engage children in a manner that resonates with their developmental stage.
