Doctors asked to upskill on youth mental health
Primary care doctors and paediatricians are in a 'unique' position to help: US statement
Paediatricians need to develop a range of mental health competencies to address the rising rates of mental health disorders in children and adolescents, according to an updated policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The academy originally issued a policy statement on mental health competencies for paediatric primary care in 2009.
