Not Enough Child Psychiatrists

Children need psychiatrists just as much as anyone else. People have mental disorders no matter the age, and they need professional help to diagnose these issues and provide the correct treatment needed. The issue is, child psychiatrists such as Joseph Franzetti, MD, are not as abundant as they used to be. The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports that the U.S. has one-fourth of the 30,000 child psychiatrists it needs. This is a major issue that needs correction. Everyone deserves the same amount of care, regardless of age.
