Yes, pediatricians receive basic training in handling common childhood behavioral and psychological issues like ADHD, anxiety, autism, and developmental delays during their postgraduate studies.
However, for complex psychological disorders, pediatricians usually refer patients to child psychologists or psychiatrists. Pediatricians often work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care.
