Adolescents and Transition-Age Youth:

---

The adolescent and young adult years (ages 10-26) can be an exciting time of growth. However, it's also a time of physical changes that can bring mental and emotional challenges.

Adolescence is an important time of physical and neurological development that has a big impact on the trajectory of a person's life. During the adolescent and young adult years, youth experience many physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and moral developmental changes. This includes critical brain development that directly impacts their evolving independence from their parents. Seeing an adolescent psychiatrist can provide more support to help ease the transition into young adulthood through psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions.
