This encyclopedia provides a concise introduction to the mental
health topics of greatest concern to adolescents. It offers young
readers the information they need to better understand mental
disorders and the importance of psychological well-being.
Addressing mental illness and prioritizing psychological well-being
are important at any age, but the teen years present unique
challenges. Hormonal changes, peer pressure, and the demands of
school and a busy social life combined with many other factors put
adolescents at high risk for mental health problems. Certain
disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are particularly
prevalent in this age group, as are risky behaviors like substance
abuse, self-harm, and distracted driving. Today's teens also face
uniquely modern threats to their psychological well-being, such as
Internet addiction and social media-induced fear of missing out
(FOMO). Yet there are also ample opportunities for adolescents to
strengthen their mental health and resiliency through such
practices as meditation, activism, and youth leadership. Teen
