Childhood and adolescence are a critical stage of life when it comes to mental health and well-being of children and young adults. At this stage we develop skills in self-control, social interaction, and learning. Over half of all cases of mental health issues start before the age of 14.
Negative experiences due to family conflict for example or at school due to bullying can have a damaging effect on the development of core cognitive and emotional skills.
Exposure to risk factors in childhood or adultescence can heavily affect mental well-being years and even decades later hence it is vital to take necessary action when it comes to treating mental health issues at the very early stages.
According to the World Health Organization in European Region, for instance, depression and anxiety disorders fall into the top 5 causes of overall disease burden among children and adolescents (as measured by disability-adjusted life years). Suicide is the leading cause of death among 10–19-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries of the Region, and the second-leading cause in high-income countries.
