Adolescents, at the cusp of adulthood, go through a lot of changes, not just hormonal but emotional and psychological, as well. These include various difficulties and burdens that interfere with adolescent development and may adversely affect their quality of life emotionally, socially, and vocationally. Mental health problems have important implications for every aspect of a young person’s life including his/her ability to engage with education, make and keep friends, have constructive family relationships and/or make his/her own way in the world. Thus, prevention and intervention in adolescence is critical for well-being, especially to be able to have a healthy transition into adulthood.
