Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents

Mental health disorders in adolescents are conditions that affect their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Common disorders include anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These disorders can impact their daily life, school performance, and relationships. Symptoms may include mood swings, withdrawal from friends, difficulty concentrating, or changes in sleep and appetite. Early detection and intervention are crucial, as mental health challenges can persist into adulthood. Support from family, friends, and mental health professionals can help adolescents navigate these issues and promote healthier coping strategies. Awareness and understanding are key to fostering a supportive environment.
