If a mental illness is related to some organic cause then the paediatric neurologist can help. If not related to any organic lesion then the psychiatrist is helpful.

Kids are into a stage of development…. Be Physical, mental and social.All go hand in hand as seen by the “Developmental scales “. A behaviour seen at a age may be normal for that age and abnormal if it is seen at an other stage of development.It’s always better to get a Paediatrician’s opinion also as so many underlying medical illnesses can prone to make the behaviour of a child look like “Abnormal behaviour “.

Mental illnesses are typically seen by psychiatrist, however some illnesses have structural brain defect which should be consulted from pediatrician or neurologist
First consult a psychiatrist and if he suspects organicity, he will refer the patient appropriately
