Purpose: This study is aimed at the examination of a child and adolescent patients in a psychiatric clinic. In our country, this transfer of experience has an important place because of the low number of clinics providing bed-treatment in the age group of children and adolescents. Tools and Methods: The data of the study was obtained by scanning backward the files of patients from the Children and Adolescent Psychiatric Service of the University of Gaziantep Medical School between the years 2015-2019. A total of 74 patients have been. In the hospital consultations of patients in our clinic, the diagnostic clarity is assessed by the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-5 (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria. The diagnosis of the facts in our study sample is achieved according to the DSM-5 criteria, by back-to-back file scans. Results: 59.5 percent of patients were girls (n: 44) and the remaining 40.5 percent (n: 30) were men. The average age of patients was 14.9 [minimum (minimum): 8 years old, maximum (max): 17 years old]. The most common diagnosis found in conversations according to DSM-5 was Two-End and Related Disorder (n: 21,28.4). He was followed by depressive disorders (n: 18, 24,3), schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders (n: 14, 18,9) and other disorders (n: 21, 28,4). 33.8 percent of patients (n: 25) had an active suicide thought or plan during sleeping. Furthermore, 24.3 percent of infants (n: 18) were subjected to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) during hospitalization. The most commonly used psychotropic medication was antipsychotics (n: 70, 94.6%). After antipsychotics, the most frequently used antidepressants (n: 35, 47.3%). The average deposit time is 14.1 (min: 1 max: 53) days. There is no difference between the patients’ age and age. However, from the point of view of the number of underlying patients there was a clear difference between the sex of the girl and the male. The seriousness of psychopathologies in the age group of children and adolescents is too high to not be minimized. In addition, as the results of the study show, suicide thoughts are quite common in children and adolescents as well. Therefore, it is important for children and adolescents to look at the clinic of mental health and diseases and to identify those in need of relief. Patients may also need pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and ECT in cases where necessary in the process of follow-up in bed service. In order to increase the knowledge and experience of children and adolescent psychiatrists in ECT, the bed-based psychiatric services should provide more appropriate conditions for ECT and should not be avoided from the application of ECT in appropriate patients.
