Clinical Pearls for Depression, Anxiety, and Disordered Eating in Pediatrics
Clinical Pearls for Depression, Anxiety, and Disordered Eating in Pediatrics - Kathryn Hudon, DO, FAAP, FACOP
If you care for children in your practice, you’ve noticed a simmering epidemic starting to explode over the last 2 years. Not COVID-19, but massive pediatric mental health challenges. Identifying and treating these kids can be intimidating and challenging, but we don’t exactly have a lot of mental health backup to help them (or us!). This session aims to help you feel more confident in diagnostic and prescriptive management for young children and teenagers suffering from anxiety, depression, and disordered eating patterns in your everyday practice.
