Features: In recent years, mental health and psychiatric issues among adolescents have become a global public health concern. According to estimates by the World Health Organization, approximately 1 in 5 children and adolescents experience emotional or behavioral problems to some degree before adulthood. Similarly, the mental health status of children and adolescents in China is cause for concern. At least 30 million adolescents under the age of 17 are troubled by various emotional and behavioral issues, primarily manifesting as learning difficulties, lack of confidence, difficulties in interacting with peers or adults, smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, early sexual behavior, teen pregnancy, running away from home, suicide, violence, and crime. This book not only includes serious behavioral disorders among adolescents that meet diagnostic criteria but also addresses potential mental health issues that may become problematic. It helps readers recognize the issues and, more importantly, provides intervention strategies and specific, detailed methods for all problems. This is not only beneficial for professionals but also highly inspiring for parents and teachers.
