Adolescence and Mental Disorders مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

Cognitive growth and the emergence of abstract thoughts cause preoccupation with philosophical, religious, and moral issues, and the adolescent begins to evaluate values and may engage in arguments with their parents regarding this. In conclusion, it must be noted that adolescence is a high-risk period, and adolescents are among the vulnerable groups of society and have a great tendency toward social deviations and psychological disorders. During this period, just like previous stages of life, our children need the love, support, guidance, and counseling of parents, and perhaps this need is greater than in previous periods; however, due to the specific developmental issues of this period, their education and upbringing are accompanied by many difficulties and require special patience, forbearance, and alertness. Due to the greater need of the affected child for attention and care, other children of the family may be subject to neglect, hatred, or conversely, special precedence and attention, which in every case creates problems in the personality and behavior of the adolescent. 2-Other specific mental illnesses: Many severe mental illnesses begin during adolescence, and this period is a high-risk period, and adolescents are considered a vulnerable group against mental disorders. Generally, genetic or biological vulnerability, developmental issues, life stressors, and environmental factors are involved in creating mental disorders during this period. 5-Conditions not attributable to mental disorder: These conditions are like those types of parent-adolescent issues or academic issues that are not caused by a specific and diagnosable mental illness in the adolescent, but they fall into the focus of psychiatric attention and treatments.
