Adolescent Mental Health
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, treatment for mental disorders is a major cause of hospitalization for children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 21 years. Occasional down days are normal, but persistent problems should be evaluated and treated by a qualified professional; proper management of mental/emotional health problems can prevent psychological crises warranting hospitalization.
