According to the World Health Organization, 50% of mental disorders in adults occur before age 14. Because they are gradually and often insidiously established, they are more difficult to diagnose at a young age. The fundamental objective of this book is to report on the current state of scientific knowledge on the subject in order to support best clinical practices and promote the harmonious development of children and adolescents.

Mental disorders in children and adolescents describes the different disorders with emphasis on supportive attitudes , specifies the most effective approaches and programs, and suggests resources to consult for each of the listed disorders.
