Children can experience the behaviors of anxiety or depression just like adults. Mood disorders in children can impact their motivation, decision making, and self esteem.

If you need extra support to determine whether your child is suffering emotionally, then Pivot Child Psychological Services can provide a psychological evaluation, counseling, and medication management.
