In Catalunya (Catalonia / SPAIN) the doctors are bad full and little valued (Because of it they go away abroad!!!) and the "Conselleria de Salut" wants to arrange the precarious situation of the PUBLIC HEALTH, privatizing it to great speed and with a " Public Catalan National Health Service " endangered (ICS), because they " it turns out to be expensive ", they say.
Because of it they do more concerts with private institutions, which they pay little and ask very much the doctors who are employed at them. But they do not stop inaugurating new "Centers", "Units", "Hospitals"... THOUGH WE DON´T HAVE DOCTORS TO BE EMPLOYED AT THESE NEW " ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES "

The specialty of child and adolescent psychiatry was the social recognition of childhood as a special phase of life with its own developmental stages, starting with the neonate and eventually extending through adolescence.
As early as 1899, the term 'child psychiatry' (in French) was used as a subtitle in Manheimer's monograph Les Troubles Mentaux de L'Enfance. However, the Swiss Moritz Tramer (1882-1963) was probably the first to define the parameters of child psychiatry in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis within the discipline of medicine, in 1933. In 1934, Tramer founded the Zeitschrift für Kinderpsychiatrie (Journal of Child Psychiatry), which later became Acta Paedopsychiatrica.
The first use in English of the term "child psychiatry" occurred when Leo Kanner published his textbook under that name in the USA in 1935.
La Psiquiatría infanto-juvenil es fundamental para prevenir las enfermedades mentales de la población adulta. En este sentido, os datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ponen de manifiesto que un tercio del total de patologías mentales clasificadas internacionalmente (DSM IV-TR y CIE 10) se producen específicamente en la infancia y la adolescencia, aunque también hay otros trastornos, como los neuróticos o la esquizofrenia, que suelen iniciarse en estas etapas de la vida.
Más del ochenta por ciento del total de las enfermedades mentales de los adultos, tienen sus raíces en la infancia y/o la adolescencia.
Este Grupo es un punto de encuentro para todas aquellas personas y/o profesionales interesados en la Psiquiatría Infanto-Juvenil y la Salud Mental Infanto-Juvenil, que quieran compartir ideas, conocimientos y experiencias.

Like other professions, the World Psychiatric Association issues an ethical code to govern the conduct of psychiatrists. The psychiatric code of ethics, first set forth through the Declaration of Hawaii in 1977, has been expanded through a 1983 Vienna update and, in 1996, the broader Madrid Declaration. The code was further revised in Hamburg, 1999. The World Psychiatric Association code covers such matters as patient assessment, up-to-date knowledge, the human dignity of incapacitated patients, confidentiality, research ethics, sex selection, euthanasia, organ transplantation, torture, the death penalty, media relations, genetics, and ethnic or cultural discrimination. In establishing such ethical codes, the profession has responded to a number of controversies about the practice of psychiatry.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Hyperactivity can be described as a physical state in which a person is abnormally and easily excitable or exuberant. Strong emotional reactions, impulsive behavior, and sometimes a short span of attention are also typical for a hyperactive person. Some individuals may show these characteristics naturally, as personality differs from person to person. Nonetheless, when hyperactivity starts to become a problem for the person or others, it may be classified as a medical disorder. The slang term "hyper" is used to describe someone who is in a hyperactive state.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD);
The most common symptoms of ADHD are distractibility, difficulty with concentration and focus, short term memory slippage, procrastination, problems organizing ideas and belongings, tardiness, impulsivity, and weak planning and execution. Not all people with ADHD have all the symptoms. Most ordinary people exhibit some of these behaviors but not to the point where they seriously interfere with the person's work, relationships, or studies or cause anxiety or depression. Children do not often have to deal with deadlines, organization issues, and long term planning so these types of symptoms often become evident only during adolescence or adulthood when life demands become greater. Hyperactivity is common among children with ADHD but tends to disappear during adulthood. However, over half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention throughout their lives. One of the things said by parents/teachers of children with ADHD is that it is very much like "Having twenty televisions lined around oneself and having them all turned to a different channel. The volume on each is constantly changing, and one finds it hard to focus on any one thing." Also, noticing things that some non-ADHD people might not notice is not uncommon.

The Platform for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Spain.
This Platform part of the premise that mental illness in childhood and adolescence have specific characteristics that, by themselves justify the existence of a medical specialty itself, since it is not known whether psycho-affective development and peculiar psychiatric characteristics to the child and adolescent stage, could be overlooked aspects in the future could become severe mental disorders or diseases in adults.
Jaume Cañellas further recalls that the international association for Psychiatry of children and adolescents and related professions (IACAPAP) recommends, from the Declaration of Budapest from 14 May 1992, that each nation carries out a plan for the recognition and support the specialty of psychiatry of children and adolescents, clinical psychology and related professions relating to the mental development of children.
This lack of specification of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry , according to Jaume Cañellas ago in Spain that historically there is a high incidence of overdiagnosis and infradiagnosis of children with mental disorders or diseases. Because you can not leave the child and adolescent mental health in the hands of professionals who are not specialized in this field.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as a 'state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community'.
The term Global Mental Health refers to the international perspective on different aspects of mental health. Taking into account cultural differences and country-specific conditions, it deals with epidemiology of mental disorders in different countries, their treatment options, mental health education, political and financial aspects, the structure of mental health care systems, human resources in mental health and human rights issues among others. The overall aim of the field of Global Mental Health is to strengthen mental health all over the world by providing information about the mental health situation in all countries and identifying mental health needs in order to develop cost-effective interventions to meet those specific needs.

If we look at the international classification of mental illness and behavioral disorders of the World Health Organization (WHO), we can see that over 80% of mental disorders of people are initiated into the stages of childhood and adolescence. Without neglecting that 33% of mental illnesses are exclusive of childhood and adolescence. Since then, in the DSM-IV and DSM-IV.R have corrected some of the questionable parsing of psychiatric disorders into "childhood" and "adult" disorders, recognizing that while many psychiatric disorders are not diagnosed until adulthood, are present in childhood or adolescence.
