Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Talking about changing habits, there are some habits that are hard to change on our own. We may need some external professional help. Certain professional services are available at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (DCAP) provides psychological and psychiatric services for children and adolescents up to 19 years of age. The vast majority of children and adolescents seen by the department do not suffer from mental illness. Most have emotional and behavioural problems that need professional help.

The department runs a Child Guidance Clinic located at the Health Promotion Board and at Clinic B, IMH. There is also a Child and Adolescent Inpatient Unit at IMH/WH for inpatients.
