Abstract

Adolescence marks the beginning of a metamorphic phase of physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Due to the complexity of this transition, heightened mental health problems have been associated with this progressive stage (Loftus, Kelly and Mustillo 2011). The exposure to a range of environmental and sociological factors, in addition to cognitive vulnerabilities may considerably increase the risk of adolescents developing mental illness. Therefore in the first instance it is essential to raise awareness of adolescent brain development, in order to assist practitioners in recognising and detecting mental illness and ensuring early intervention and prompt treatment.
