Mood Disorders
The Division of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics does not evaluate or treat children for mood disorder. Please contact your child's pediatrician or primary care provider for a referral to a more appropriate mental health specialist such as a child & adolescent psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, or a social worker that is able to evaluate your child's mood.
