Abstract
In Latvia, child and adolescent psychiatry is defined: “child and adolescent psychiatry is an independent medical discipline investigating etiopathogenesis of neurotic and psychical disorders in children and adolescents and their clinical manifestation, diagnosis, therapeutic methods, school and social adaptation”.

Of course, it does not mean that psychotherapy is not used but the situation has to improve by joining efforts for better help.
