Dr. Vidya practises child and family psychiatry at Mansa Clinic. She has specialised in this area of expertise at NIMHANS, Bangalore. She has developed a multi-disciplinary team for the assessment, diagnosis, and intervention of various developmental disorders in children. The mansa clinic child wellness team which comprises a child psychiatrist, a physiotherapist with a master's in paediatric neurology, a behaviour therapist, a speech therapist, and a special educator, are all passionate about their work.

We play, observe, and develop a rapport with the child, and we delve into the child's detailed developmental history with the parents. After developing a biopsychosocial construct on the basis of all of this, the team gets together to implement an individualised intervention plan focusing on the strengths of the child and the needs of the family.

Dr. Vidya Child and Family Psychiatrist conducts play therapy, psychotherapy, and parental counselling depending on the diagnosis and may give medication where warranted. The child psychiatry team also designs and conducts IEPs (individualised education programs) for children with ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. Thus, the unit provides a holistic management solution for the child and family.
