Mental disorders are a fundamentally important field for understanding human existence, but at the same time, they pose a continuous challenge in seeking the causal factors behind their creation and the appropriate treatment each time.

Most mental disorders in adults have their roots in childhood. A person, in order to transition from childhood to adult life, goes through adolescence. It is common for disorders of adolescence to be studied alongside those of childhood.

This book describes the mental disorders of children and adolescents while simultaneously exploring the causes that trigger them, the clinical picture they present, the effects on family and school life, and suggesting methods for their therapeutic management.

This book may prove useful to students, as well as to child psychiatrists, educators, psychologists, and social workers, as well as to other specialties involved in the physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children and adolescents.
