Inflations des diagnostics et listes d’attente… Les démesures en psychiatrie de l’enfant et de l’adolescent

Abstract

It is a global and incessant observation that our young people are suffering, that there are more and more disorders and pathologies, and that the professional response is failing. Child and adolescent psychiatry is driven by the population's expectations to combat this state of affairs. But predicting and expecting a tripling or quadrupling of resources is unrealistic. Child psychiatry must be ambitious, and on the other hand in restraint, the time of analysis, and in moderation.
