Abstract
With a limited number of child and adolescent psychiatrists available to see youth patients, many common psychiatric problems in youth are managed by other providers. Clinical pearls from experts in child and adolescent psychiatry can help general practitioners with this management. Some common issues are discussed here for which practical guidance is offered, ranging from approaches to assessment and how to start and titrate medications for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and sleep problems.
