UN Warning on Child Mental Health

UN Warning on Child Mental Health

Up to one in five of the world's children is suffering mental or behavioural problems according to two UN agencies.The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund warn that this will lead to serious public health problems in the future unless more is done to address the issue.They pin the blame on rapid social and economic change and poverty.



Children growing up in war zones face the toughest problems but experts also warn that those in countries such as the UK are far from immune.The report highlights big increases in depression and suicide among children and adolescents. Children who are depressed will also be prone to other illness. Depressive disorders are the fourth leading cause of disease and disability, and are expected to rise to second place by 2020.

Mental Health

Mental Health
Most experts consider mental health as a continuum. Thus, an individual's mental health may have many different possible values. Mental wellness is generally viewed as a positive attribute, such that a person can reach enhanced levels of mental health, even if they do not have any diagnosable mental illness.

This definition of mental health highlights emotional well being, the capacity to live a full and creative life and the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges. Many therapeutic systems and self-help books offer methods and philosophies espousing strategies and techniques vaunted as effective for further improving the mental wellness of otherwise healthy people. Positive psychology is increasingly prominent in mental health.
