诊所的概述

的 Max Gray 孩子 and Adolescent Mood Disorders Program provides diagnostic evaluations, second opinion consultation, and short-term treatments (medication management and various forms of psychotherapy) for youth who have symptoms of significant and impairing mood disorders and their families. 的 program’s focus is on pediatric bipolar disorder (extreme high or “manic” moods alternating with periods of depressed mood) and major depression (impairing sadness, loss of interests in school or other activities, sleep disturbances, feelings of hopelessness, trouble with concentration, lack of motivation, 乏力, 而且经常, suicidal thinking). We will see children from age 7 years to 17 yrs, 11 mos.

Our diagnostic evaluation is given in two parts: a series of interviews with a 诊所al psychologist and/or a child psychiatrist for a psychiatric evaluation, including consideration of medical treatments. Depending on the conclusions of the combined team evaluation, we then offer treatment recommendations, which may include ongoing medication treatment and psychosocial therapy sessions involving family education and skill training. Many clients in CHAMP receive both services. Some clients and families may be offered participation in 研究 研究也是如此. Family treatment sessions offered within 研究 studies are free.

CHAMP also offers skills groups for adolescents coping with mood or psychotic disorders.  We are conducting a 诊所al trial comparing cognitive-behavioral therapy skills groups with mindfulness-based therapy groups. 的se groups last 3 months and include parent participation.
