Adolescent Behavioral Disorders
Adolescent Behavioral Disorders refer to a range of mental health conditions characterized by disruptive or harmful behaviors exhibited by individuals typically between the ages of 12 to 18 years old. These disorders can manifest as defiance, aggression, impulsivity, substance abuse, self-harm, or other conduct issues that interfere with daily functioning and relationships. Common types of adolescent behavioral disorders include conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and substance use disorders. Treatment often involves a combination of therapy, medication, and behavioral interventions to help adolescents manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
