Dr. Orsolya Schmidt

Consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, medical degree from Semmelweis University Faculty of Medicine, Budapest. She began her clinical career as a resident at the child and adolescent psychiatry department of Vadaskert Hospital, where she has continued to work since qualifying as a consultant. Since 2022 she has been the consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist at Murmo.

Her clinical work centres on ongoing child psychiatric care: long-term follow-up, the indication and monitoring of pharmacological treatment, and close collaboration with the family and the therapeutic team. She is currently training in family therapy. This combination of psychiatric and systemic thinking shapes her approach: she reads the symptom within the child's developmental and family context.

Clinical practice at Murmo

• Ongoing child psychiatric care: long-term follow-up, monitoring of clinical state, and continuous review of the treatment plan.
• Indication, initiation and monitoring of pharmacological treatment, coordinated with the psychotherapeutic process.

Areas of interest

• Autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring conditions - comorbid anxiety, mood and attention difficulties.
• Coordinating pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment in complex cases.
• The role of the family as a system in the course and resolution of child psychiatric conditions.
• Integrating the child psychiatric and the art therapeutic perspective — reading symptom and artwork together.

She contributes regularly, on a pro bono basis, to the parent club programme of the Egészséges Lelkű Ifjúságért Pro Juventa Foundation, where she delivers talks on autism and co-occurring conditions.
