The toolkit shared above helps you to understand that how a parent can prepare for a visit to their child’s psychiatrist and what questions to ask your child’s psychiatrist?

The toolkit shares list of frequently asked question that parents can use and can ask their child’s psychiatrist. Some of the questions include:

  • what happens if my child misses the dosage?
  • How can we determine if that medication has worked?
  • what happens if the first medication does not work?
  • Is there a chance that my child will grow dependent on the medication?
  • How long must the child continue the prescribed medication?

You can find many more questions to keep them handy in the toolkit.
