Summary
Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents provides essential information to help parents, educators, and general practitioners find effective ways to identify and treat psychiatric disorders that many teens face. Two reader-friendly sections, "Recognizing the Problem, Finding Help, and Negotiating the System" and "Common Psychiatric Problems in Adolescence" are supported by two appendices. One appendix provides a list of resources, organizations, books, websites, and phone numbers. The other is a "treatment organizer" to help parents know what school and medical data to bring to a psychiatric evaluation and teach them how to keep track of important discussions related to their child's treatment
