The Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Check-Up is a comprehensive examination to assess the neuropsychiatric health status of children and adolescents. This check-up is designed to comprehensively assess the brain function, behavior, emotional state and social skills of children and adolescents.

Children in the 0-18 age group go through various developmental periods during their growth stages. While they develop physically, they also experience psychological changes. "Child Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Check-Up" is recommended to follow these processes and to understand whether the changes are the result of a normal developmental process or a psychiatric disease.

Why should we have a Child Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Check-Up?

Neuropsychiatry check-up is important to identify and manage problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, anxiety, depression. This assessment helps identify the interventions needed to optimize the child's mental and emotional health.

Frequently asked questions by parents include "Why does my child have difficulty coping with problems? Why does he/she have tantrums all the time? Why is he always on the tablet? Why does he/she still wet the bed even though he/she is toilet trained?". Our Child Adolescent Psychiatry Specialists say, "Early diagnosis of many psychiatric diseases can be made with Neuropsychiatry Check-Up. In addition, the question marks in the minds of families who are informed about the stages of development can be eliminated."
