Saber Psychiatry is committed to providing the best care and treatment options for children, teens and adults. Dr. Sricharan Moturi, MD, is one of very few child and adolescent psychiatrists in the United States qualified in Pediatrics and Sleep Medicine.
Every child and teenager experiences various stages of growth that can lead to changes in emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It’s normal for young individuals to feel sad, anxious, or irritable occasionally or to show signs of aggression. They might also struggle with sitting still, paying attention, or interacting socially. However, if these behaviors become persistent or begin to interfere with their daily functioning, they might indicate an underlying mental health issue.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, mental health issues among children and teens are pretty prevalent, with one in six experiencing a mental health disorder at some point. Addressing these issues at an early age can significantly reduce their long-term impact. Studies indicate that fifty percent of all mental health conditions begin by the age of 14, and three-quarters have started by the age of 24. Early detection and intervention are critical for managing these conditions effectively.
