The effects of the mental health interventions reported on adolescents' problems include a
decrease in disruptive behaviors and affective symptoms such as depression and anxiety, together with
an increase in social skills, as well as an improvement in personal well-being.
Adolescence are critical periods to promote mental health as more than half of mental health
problems start at these stages, and many of these persist throughout adult life. Currently, this has
become a priority as worldwide data shows an increase in the prevalence of mental health issues in
childhood and adolescence and the percentage of those afflicted reaching nearly 20%.
