Child Psychiatric Problems

Nurturing young minds — gentle care for growing emotional needs.

Children express emotional distress differently than adults. Struggles like attention difficulties, anxiety, aggression, low self-esteem, or developmental delays can affect how they learn, connect, and grow. At Mananalam Clinic, we specialize in recognizing and treating a wide range of child psychiatric problems through supportive, age-appropriate therapy.

With Dr. Thirunavukarasu Manickam’s 45+ years of experience — including extensive work with children and families — our goal is to build a strong emotional foundation for every child’s future.

Autism spectrum disorder is most of the psychiatric disorders have their onset during the teenage. So which is very important to keep that in mind. As the presentation and manifestation of the illness may not be as adult presentations. Nowadays, high risk, ultra high risk for psychiatric episodes are heavily debated.

Our clinic provides a safe, nurturing space where children feel heard and supported — not judged. Each therapy plan is personalized, helping your child gain confidence, manage emotions, and build healthy relationships, both at school and at home.

When we see the child, we have to keep all this in mind, and continuous observation is very much necessary. At the same time, the anxiety in the parent has to be attended to.
