Child Psychiatry Expert Witnesses

Child psychiatry is an area of focus within the medical fields specializing in treating the mental health of children and adolescents. The unique aspects of child development in relation to mental health requires a specified background of training and expertise, as required of a child psychiatry expert witness called upon to offer an expert opinion in a related court case.

Child psychiatry expert witnesses focus on cognitive psychology, behavioral health, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depression and depressive disorders, mental illness, bipolar disorder, and other relevant conditions and health issues. Since there are many aspects within the discipline, child psychiatry expert witnesses may be licensed and/or certified in a range of topics in addition to child and adolescent psychiatry, such as neurology, psychology, medical examination, and other related areas.

Child psychiatry would also be relevant in cases involving trauma, such as those brought about by child abuse, as well as child custody or child immigration based cases. Child psychiatry expert witnesses may provide an expert opinion regarding a juvenile’s competency to proceed to trial, as well as provide information on the juvenile justice system. The roles of parenting, school policies, and other informative aspects of a child’s environment may take on a major role in the proceedings of a court case related to child psychiatry.
