The Scientific Center for Child Health includes rehabilitation centers in various areas. In such centers there are children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, who have suffered serious eye or heart diseases that have a delay in development.

Mental Health Center

The Scientific Center for Mental Health of Children is the country's leading scientific institution in the field of mental illness. The main activities of this institution are as follows:

• New methods of diagnosing, treating and preventing such diseases are being developed.
• New methods of therapy and rehabilitation courses are being introduced.
• Social adaptation of people who have suffered mental disorders.
• Research is being conducted on mental health problems.
• New forms of providing psychiatric care are being investigated and introduced.

Violation of mental health often occurs in childhood. If the disease is not cured in time, then it can have a devastating effect on the human brain, can lead to death (more often suicide). Therefore, the Scientific Center for Mental Health of Children and Adolescents pays special attention to the development of issues of diagnosing mental illnesses, especially in the early stages of development. The research work carried out by the Scientific Center for Children's Health allows one to recognize the disease and, combining harmless medications and corrective techniques, to achieve significant results, and sometimes completely cure the disease.

Developments in the field of children's mental health

A lot of work is being done in the direction of pathological changes in mental health in young children. Some developed methods become standardized. This, for example, "Scheme of assessment of the neuropsychic state in children under three years old." There is also a group of scientists that investigates children's autism, studies its typology and clinical indicators. Already appeared a number of corrective techniques that can alleviate the condition of sick children, make their adaptation in the society more real. This research department has a kindergarten for children with autism, which allows scientists to observe children for a longer period of time during the day. This helps to achieve the most correct research results and implement special techniques.

The method of "Comparison of concepts"

It is known that such a mental illness as schizophrenia leads to a pathology of thought processes. Employees of SRI RAMS S.E. Strogova, N.V. Zverev and A.I. Khromov developed the method "Comparison of concepts" to study the disruption of the thinking activity of children and adolescents in this disease. After applying this effective technique, the picture of disorders becomes clear, which allows selecting an effective treatment.

This rehabilitation center also works as a Research Center for Child Health, conducting research on all the necessary activities.

Activities Research Institute of Hygiene and Health of Children and Adolescents RAMS

In this scientific research institute, a great deal of work is under way to develop such theoretical positions as:

• Hygienic rationing.

An analysis of the work during the last five-year plan has made it possible to reveal the patterns of changes in the health status of the younger generation, to explain the cause of the deterioration and to make a forecast for the near future. Also, based on the research, new data were obtained on the adaptation of children to the learning process and hygienic norms of training were developed. Conclusions were made about early employment, when the child combines study and work, and the negative impact of this form of existence on the children's body is proved. The norms for carrying heavy items for boys and girls aged 14-17 years have been developed and scientifically substantiated, hygienic norms for vocational schools and colleges have been developed. Also, a research was carried out to study the clothes of children and adolescents and the materials from which it is made. On the basis of these studies, a list of requirements to which children's clothing should match is drawn up.
