This 7-part series also provides information to assist mental health professionals with identification and effective treatment methods; clarifying how child psychiatrists determine the correct diagnosis for children; appropriate combinations of therapies and accommodations at home and school; and the judicious use of correct medications to alleviate the most problematic symptoms for the child.

This was a great video! Breaks my heart because I’m here watching this because of a kid at my work and a lot of this really lines up with his behavior. Hate that he has to deal with this as I’ve seen by brother go down the same path as him. My student is only 7. :(
