The perfect book for your young future doctor!
Written by physicians, Psychiatry for Kids is a charming, easy-to-understand introduction to the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses and developmental disabilities. With its beautiful illustrations and simple explanations, this book teaches children (and adults alike!) about symptoms and treatment options for common mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, and bulimia. This book also introduces children to the signs and symptoms of common developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder. Most importantly, this book normalizes conversations about mental health and encourages children to reach out to their parents, teachers, or doctors if they ever want to talk to someone about their feelings. This installment of the Medical School for Kids book series is the best way to introduce basic concepts in psychiatry to our next generation of doctors.
In this book, you will learn about...
- Mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders, depression, and eating disorders
- Treatments for mental illnesses, including medications and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder
... and more!
