Abstract

Psychiatric illnesses among school-going children are a significant global concern with profound implications for their educational and social development. This article provides a comprehensive review of the prevalence, types, and impacts of psychiatric disorders in children, with a specific focus on both global and Indian contexts. It also examines the role of Homoeopathic treatments as an alternative therapeutic approach, including the current evidence supporting their use. The goal is to present a balanced view of the available interventions and highlight the potential benefits of integrating Homoeopathy into conventional treatment plans.
