Summary
This study tests whether intensive home-based psychiatric treatment can help children and teens with mental health disorders as an alternative to being in the hospital. Over 3 months, participants receive 3 to 7 home visits per week from a team of doctors, therapists, and other specialists. The goal is to see if this approach reduces symptoms and improves daily functioning, with a follow-up after 6 months.
