Does anyone here have experience treating enuresis in children? In my fellowship training, this never came up as all of my patients with this problem were already on desmopressin or imipramine, started by their pediatricians. In my current practice, however, I have had a number of kids who are wetting the bed but aren't taking anything for it. So far I have just been recommending that the parents get a bell and pad device, which is usually effective anyway. I have also considered prescribing medication in some cases, but since I haven't ever prescribed for enuresis and have only seen it done by pediatricians, I wonder if this would be an unusual practice for a psychiatrist, or outside the scope of mental health care.
