About Us Our unit Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic (BUP) Kungshöjd is part of the operational area Neurology, Child Psychiatry within Area 1 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The outpatient clinic's mission is to assess and treat children and young people up to 18 years old with moderate to severe mental health issues.
