Adolescence


Adolescence has been described as the transition period in life when an individual is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. It is a period in which an individual undergoes enormous physical and psychological changes. It is a period of sexual and reproductive maturity.  The individual’s capacity for abstract and critical thinking also develops. 

The World Health Organization refers to people aged 10-19 years as adolescents. The term ‘young people’ refers to those between 10-24 years.  The United Nations definition of youth is those between the ages of 15-24 years.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart”

  Myth of the Month  
  Myth: There should be a standard treatment program for everyone.?  
 
One treatment method is not necessarily appropriate for everyone. The best programs develop an individual treatment plan based on a thorough assessment of the individual's problems. These plans may combine a variety of methods tailored to address each person's specific needs and may include behavioral therapy (such as counseling, cognitive therapy or psychotherapy), medications, or a combination. Referrals to other medical, psychological and social services may also be crucial components of treatment for many people. Furthermore, treatment for teens varies depending on the child's age, maturity and family/peer environment, and relies more heavily than adult treatment on family involvement during the recovery process. "[They] must be approached differently than adults because of their unique developmental issues, differences in their values and belief systems, and environmental considerations (e.g., strong peer influences)."
