Conditions

Conditions We See in Children & Adolescents

Dr. Neha Dua Sobti sees the full range of childhood and adolescent mental health conditions.

🎯
ADHD

Difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, and restlessness. Significantly affects school and social life but is very manageable with the right treatment plan.

😟
Anxiety in Children

School refusal, separation anxiety, social anxiety. Children often express anxiety through physical complaints — stomach aches, headaches, refusing to go to school.

😔
Adolescent Depression

Often looks more like irritability and withdrawal than classic sadness. Loss of interest, sleep changes, low motivation, declining school performance.

😤
Behavioural Disorders

Persistent oppositional behaviour, conduct problems, or aggression that is beyond normal developmental phases and affecting family and school life.

📚
Learning Difficulties

Where academic struggles have a psychiatric or developmental component — ADHD, anxiety, or specific learning differences.

💔
Childhood Trauma

Abuse, loss, violence, or other trauma leading to PTSD and related conditions. Requires sensitive specialist management.

Assessment

What a Child Psychiatry Consultation Involves

The process is gentle, thorough, and completely age-appropriate.

01
Initial Meeting with Parents

Dr. Sobti first meets with parents to understand the history, concerns, and what has been tried. This background is essential before meeting the child.

02
Meeting with the Child or Teenager

A separate, age-appropriate meeting with the child — conducted at their level, without jargon. Teenagers especially benefit from having their own confidential space.

03
Integrated Assessment

Pulling together the information from parents, child, school reports where relevant, and clinical observation to build a complete picture.

04
Treatment Plan Explained to Both

Treatment plans are explained in age-appropriate language to both parents and the child. The child is part of the plan — not just its subject.

🌱

A note for parents: Bringing your child to a psychiatrist does not mean you have failed as a parent. It means you have noticed something and acted on it. That is excellent parenting.

FAQs

Child Psychiatry — Common Questions

My child is very young — can they still be seen?
+
Yes. Dr. Sobti sees children from toddler age onwards, with techniques completely adapted to their developmental stage. Even very young children can show signs of anxiety, developmental delay, or behavioural difficulties that benefit from specialist assessment.
Will my child need medication?
+
Not necessarily. Many childhood conditions — particularly anxiety and mild-to-moderate ADHD — respond well to behavioural approaches and parent guidance alone. Medication is considered when symptoms are significantly impairing despite other approaches, and is never imposed without full discussion.
My teenager refuses to come. What should I do?
+
This is common. Sometimes a parent consultation first helps — understanding the situation better enables you to approach the conversation with your teenager differently. Dr. Sobti can advise on how to have that conversation constructively.
