Abstract

Adolescence-related problems revolve around the body, giving rise to anxiety. Teenagers experience a desire for self-sufficiency but also find it difficult to severe unrecognized infantile ties. This study aims at emphasizing the central part played by the body in teenage conflicts and how this part consistently leads to specific adolescence-related problems including identity, self-esteem, and mastery. The main focus is on sexuality, hypochondria, and suicide in teenagers, which may serve as alarm signals denoting one of the fixed psychopathological disorders occasionally seen during adolescence.
