Child vs. adult psychiatrists?

Posted by CareBear04 on January 13, 2004, at 11:55:23

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this board.
I'm 20 yrs old and in college. I was first referred to a psychiatrist about a year ago. Since then, I've seen quite a few doctors, most of them specializing in child/adolescent psychiatry. Does anyone know why this is? I mean, technically, I'm an adult. I stopped seeing a pediatrician years ago. I feel too old to see a child psychiatrist, and it makes me feel underdeveloped or something. But a lot of doctors have said that they don't feel comfortable treating young patients and recommended someone else. What ages are child psychiatrists trained to treat and when is adulthood considered to begin?
