Description

Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents provides essential information to help parents, educators, and professionals find effective ways to identify and treat psychiatric disorders that many teens face. The first of two reader-friendly sections helps caregivers navigate the often confusing mental health system for adolescents. Readers will find comprehensive information about when and how to seek help and the types of treatments that are available, including a detailed discussion of psychiatric medications and psychotherapy options. The second part offers information on specific psychiatric disorders, including symptoms and warning signs, diagnostic evaluations, treatment options, prognosis, and associated risks for each disorder. The book also includes two practical appendices--a list of resources, organizations, books, websites, and phone numbers for further information and support, and a "treatment organizer" to help parents understand what information to bring to a psychiatric evaluation and to inform them about how to keep track of important discussions related to their child's treatment. --Book Jacket.
