CHILD & ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY

A child and adolescent psychiatrist is a doctor who helps young people with their mental health. They can diagnose, treat, and prevent disorders that affect the emotions, thoughts, and behaviours of children and teens. They also work with families and schools to support the wellbeing of young people. Our child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr Renee Denham, is qualified to prescribe medication, as well other evidence-based treatments, such as talking and play-based therapies, to help her young patients cope with challenges, improve their health and wellbeing, and to, ultimately, thrive.
