Symptoms & Diagnosis

The PSC is a brief questionnaire made up of 10 items and is 3 pages long. It takes about 5 minutes to fill out. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and primary care providers use this form to help identify and assess changes in emotional and behavioral problems in children. The PSC covers a broad range of emotional and behavioral problems and is meant to provide an assessment of psychosocial functioning. The information helps guide the workup for each problem or allows the mental health professional to know which other information may need to be collected.

Examinations and investigations

All children must be examined fully, so that no important sign is missed. In contrast to the systematic approach for adults, however, examination of a child should be organized in a way that does not upset the child. The approach to examining children should be flexible. 

  • Do not upset the child unnecessarily.
  • Leave the child in the arms of the mother or carer.
  • Observe as many signs as possible before touching the child:
    – Does the child speak, cry or make any sound?
    – Is the child alert, interested and looking about?
    – Does the child appear drowsy?
    – Is the child irritable?
    – Is the child vomiting?
    – Is the child able to suck or breastfeed?
    – Is the child cyanosed or pale?
    – Does the child show signs of respiratory distress?
    – Does the child use auxiliary muscles of breathing?
    – Is there lower chest wall indrawing?
    – Does the child appear to breathe fast?
