Abstract

Adolescent's mental health should be a topic of special interest. Signs and symptoms are not always well defined, often leading to confusion with the adolescence's crisis itself. The basis for the adolescent mental health problems assistance are a good clinical history, some excellent abilities for the interview, evolution observation and team work capacity. In this work, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders on adolescents and the different classifications are reviewed. In a more detailed way, disorders related to anxiety, including posttraumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive disorders, self aggression behaviours and suicide, conduct and antisocial disorders and schizophrenia are described. Diagnostic basis and treatment guides are exposed for each disorder. It is pointed out the importance of knowing the typology of adaptation disorders on adolescents since, with a good orientation and an opportune treatment, evolution toward more serious disorders can be avoidable.
