New York, NY (May 4, 2002) A study done at the Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons by Dr. Meridith Sonnett, associate director of pediatric emergency medicine, assistant clinical professor of pediatrics, and principal investigator, showed that children and older teenagers presenting to the Hospital's emergency department (ED) with psychiatric emergencies differed in types of illnesses and the need for care between age groups.Dr. Sonnett said that the results of this study were extremely important in highlighting the future direction of psychiatric care for children. "It is clear that psychiatric emergencies in children have reached epidemic proportions," she says. "It is also clear that younger children have unique needs that must be addressed separately from older children and adults. For example, 25 percent of children diagnosed with "diseases usually diagnosed in childhood-- such as attention deficit disorder-- may require a more specialized approach, given that their problems may not strictly be psychiatric in nature, but more behavioral in origin."
