Summary: Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents provides essential information to help parents, educators, and general practitioners find effective ways to identify and treat psychiatric disorders that many teens face. Two reader-friendly sections, "Recognizing the Problem, Finding Help, and Negotiating the System" and "Common Psychiatric Problems in Adolescence" are supported by two appendices. One appendix provides a list of resources, organizations, books, websites, and phone numbers. The other is a "treatment organizer" to help parents know what school and medical data to bring to a psychiatric evaluation and teach them how to keep track of important discussions related to their child's treatment.
