Abstract

According to the importance of the acceptation given to mental health in infants as a fundamental part of the integral development of individuals, the pediatric care of children and youngsters has been manifestly increased during the last years. Notwithstanding, only scarce antecedents are available in Chile on this class of medical care. This article is a contribution to this field, addressed to the analysis of the attention of psychiatry to infants and adolescents in a Regional Health Service in Chile.
