Abstract

Recently, the number of families requiring the attention and assistance of a psychiatrist has been increasing due to mental illness in a child. Distrust of the doctor, fear that the diagnosis can affect the social status of the child, bias towards psychiatry – all this leads to a deterioration in medical care and, first of all, harm the health of the child. Often a psychiatrist uses only the clinical method to make a diagnosis.
