Children and teenagers show mental health problems differently from adults. A child with anxiety may complain of stomach aches and refuse school; a teenager with depression may look angry or withdrawn rather than sad. Early help prevents lost school years and strained family relationships. At Adarsh Brain Care 360, Ashiyana, Lucknow, led by Dr. Adarsh Tripathi, Dr. Aditya Agrawal (MD Psychiatry, KGMU; certificate course in child and adolescent psychiatry) sees children and teenagers in the evening, so that school hours are not disturbed.
Concerns we see
- Attention and hyperactivity problems (ADHD), poor focus, impulsive behaviour
- Anxiety, school refusal, exam fear, separation anxiety
- Low mood, irritability, loss of interest in friends or studies
- Excessive mobile, gaming or screen use
- Anger outbursts and conduct problems
- OCD, tics and sleep problems
- Concerns about development or learning difficulty (we assess and guide referral where needed)
When to seek help
See a specialist if a change in behaviour has lasted more than two to three weeks, is affecting school or friendships, or if your child talks about self-harm or not wanting to live. You do not have to wait for a crisis, and a visit does not mean something is seriously wrong.
What the visit involves
The psychiatrist speaks with you and with your child, together and separately where appropriate, and may ask for school reports. Many difficulties are managed with parent guidance, behaviour strategies and therapy with our clinical psychologist Mr. Vinayak Katyayan, without medicines. Medicine is used only when it is likely to help, at the lowest effective dose, with a clear explanation to parents. Meet our doctors.

Common questions
Does my child have to take medicines?
Not always. Many children improve with counselling and changes at home and school. If medicine is advised, we explain why and what to watch for.
Will this affect my child’s school record?
No. Consultations are confidential, and we share information with the school only with your consent.
Should parents come alone first?
You can. Some parents prefer to discuss concerns first. Tell reception when you book.
If your child is in danger or talking about self-harm, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 or go to the nearest emergency department. We are an outpatient clinic and not an emergency service.
