Psychiatric disorders in adolescents are an important social problem relevant to almost all healthcare professionals. Primary care providers correctly identify less than a fourth of youth with a depressive or anxiety disorder and many clinicians underestimate the importance of the problem of adolescent psychiatric illnesses and suicidal behavior.

The book's main focus is on the pharmacological treatment of the adolescent patient. It provides physicians and allied health professionals with pharmacological information covering all main specialities of internal medicine. The book emphasizes on the importance of youth-specific medical treatment of disorders and diseases.

The goal of this book is to provide pediatricians and primary care clinicians with a pharmacologic expertise in adolescent health issues. The book focuses on general, mental and sexual disorders of the youth and functions as a practical guide for physicians and allied health professionals who work with adolescents.
