Children and teens can experience mental illnesses just like adults.

 

Young people often feel a lot of pressure from school, parents and friends, which may lead to struggles with mental health. This includes illnesses like anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder and more.

 

It's important for young people to understand what mental illnesses are, the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and what to do about it so that they can help themselves and others live enjoyable, productive lives.

 

If you think that you are struggling with a mental illness, it is important to talk to your doctor.
