Mental Health
Providers at Abington Pediatrics are available to help with your child’s mental health needs.
We are able to prescribe medication for ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and OCD. Patients who require more complicated care or who do not respond to first line treatments may be referred to a psychiatrist.
We encourage all of our patients with anxiety and depression to begin therapy with a psychologist or counselor before considering medication.
