Child and adolescent psychiatry is still a neglected discipline in Public Health, despite the fact that a high degree of effectiveness can be definitely achieved especially as regards prevention if physicians specialising in child and adolescent psychiatry are employed by Public Health services. Thus avoiding that children develop into psychiatrist-prone adults after taking up a career or profession. The child and adolescent psychiatrist in Public Health services is not only competent in respect of giving advice and mediating help in the areas of kindergarten and school problems, but is also a significant key person in health education. It is urgently recommended to recruit a sufficient number of child and adolescent psychiatrists for Public Health service or to train them within the framework of their activities as Public Health physicians. Prevention is better than cure--this is especially true for children and adolescents.
儿童和青少年精神病学在公共卫生领域仍然是一个被忽视的学科，尽管事实上，如果公共卫生服务机构聘用儿童和青少年精神病学专科医生，尤其是在预防方面，肯定能取得很高的成效。这样可以避免儿童在成年后从事某种职业时发展成为易患精神疾病的成年人。公共卫生服务机构中的儿童和青少年精神科医生不仅在幼儿园和学校问题领域提供建议和调解帮助方面有能力，而且在健康教育中也是重要的关键人物。迫切建议为公共卫生服务机构招募足够数量的儿童和青少年精神科医生，或者在他们作为公共卫生医生的活动框架内对他们进行培训。预防胜于治疗——这对儿童和青少年尤其如此。
