MO Doctor Encourages Parents To Prioritize Mental Health At Next Checkup

(Missourinet) Some Missouri doctors are highly recommending to make sure parents are getting the mental health of their children checked. Dr. Ravi Johar, with United Healthcare in St. Louis, is one.

He says getting a mental health checkup for children during the yearly back-to-school time can help to bring up a necessary conversation.

Johar says checking on the mental health of children is just as important as checking on their physical development.
