Adolescent Mental Health
Adolescent mental health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals aged between 10 and 19 years. This stage of life is crucial as it involves significant changes, including physical development, social interactions, and identity formation. Common mental health issues during this period include anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders, which can impact daily functioning and relationships.
Promoting good mental health in adolescents involves supportive environments, open communication, and access to resources. Schools, families, and communities play vital roles in fostering resilience and coping skills. Early intervention and awareness can help address mental health challenges and improve overall well-being for young people.
