Child and adolescent psychiatry
Child and adolescent psychiatry and psychopharmacology in a private Santa Monica office, with John C. Raiss, MD, who is board certified in both general and child and adolescent psychiatry. He diagnoses and treats mood disorders, anxiety disorders (panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety), ADHD, sleep problems, psychotic disorders and autism spectrum disorders. For children and teens, the first visit is a one-hour diagnostic evaluation with the parents, followed by a separate visit with the child. Follow-up medication visits are typically 15 to 30 minutes. He does not provide 45-50 minute psychotherapy sessions but helps families find a therapist. Parents bring prior testing reports, report cards and ADHD rating scales. New patients are being accepted; scheduling is by phone only. Adults are seen too, and most patients are adults.
