How does a child's depression affect his treatment for diabetes? And can a child with cancer overcome her anxiety while still battling the disease? The NYU Langone Child Study Center's Dr. Ron-Li Liaw addresses these issues, and talks about the amazing resilience of children in the face of both physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Liaw, an expert in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and resilience, and the co-occurrence of physical and mental illnesses, is a clinical assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU.
