The Ask A Doctor forum is a place to air questions for mental health professionals.  We hope to periodically feature articles by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, guidance counselors, and other people in the youth mental health field.  In order to serve your needs as best as possible, we will take your questions and present them to professionals willing to participate. 

These articles will in no way recommend treatment or advertise services.  Please keep your questions GENERAL; we will not be able to submit any case-specific inquiries. 

Below are some sample questions:

• What is the difference between major and manic depression?
• What causes mental illness?
• Are kids and teens overdiagnosed and overmedicated?
• How did you get interested in the mental health profession?
• What advancements are currently being made in identifying and treating mental illness?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
