Dagsy: a novel clinical framework to address a currently unmet need in child and adolescent psychiatry (second presenter)

A growing number of genetic variants are identified that confer an increased risk for neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. The detection of these genomic disorders is becoming more prevalent in young children and provides an opportunity for proactive anticipatory psychiatric care, which contrasts to traditional (“reactive”) psychiatric care models indicated primarily by the presence of symptoms or behavioral concerns. This presentation aims to describe the first 3 years of experience with a novel, “genetic-first” child and adolescent psychiatric clinic.
