Treatment

Treatment for mental health issues in children and adolescents with Williams syndrome often involves a combination of psychosocial interventions and, when necessary, medication. Cognitive-behavioural therapy adapted for their cognitive profile can be effective for anxiety disorders, while social skills training may help address social difficulties. Family-based interventions are also important, providing support and strategies for parents to manage challenging behaviours and promote positive development.
