Summary: <p> On the website of WHO, some key facts on Adolescent Mental health were:</p> <ul> <li>Mental health conditions account for 16% of the global burden of disease and injury in people aged 10-19 years. </li> <li>Globally, depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.</li> <li>Suicide is the third leading cause of death in 15-19-year-olds.</li> </ul> <p>This inspired me to dedicate the next two episodes to Child & Adolescent Mental Health with Dr. Kaushik Roy who specializes in child & adolescent psychiatry. He sees patients from the age group of 5- 25 years. He is associated with St. Lukes University Hospital in Pennsylvania teaching fellow residents, medical students, mentoring psychotherapists & advanced practitioners. He also collaborates with other disciplines of medicine.</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-third-eye1/message
