Excerpt

First onset of mental disorders usually occurs in childhood or adolescence, although treatment typically does not occur until a number of years later [1]. Mental health problems among children and adolescents are increasing in the last few years, possibly due to drastic changes in lifestyle and habits, heightened awareness among caregivers and parents resulting in increased reporting, or the negative effect of media and globalization [2]. Treatments are available, but nearly two-thirds of children/adolescents with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional [3].
