Summary
Given that children and adolescents can never be thought of simply as “little adults” but rather as patients with their own unique developmental, psychological, and biological characteristics, it is crucial that clinicians recognize how psychopathology presents differently in this population. Key differences between children, adolescents, and adults regarding epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment are described below for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, and psychotic symptoms.
