摘要：Estimates indicate that 10%-20% of children and adolescents develop psychiatric
disorders; and approximately 5%-12% suffer from functionally
impairing conditions.

However,
for most young people, mental health and substance abuse problems are either unrecognized or
inadequately treated. Even in high-income countries, only about 20% of emotionally disturbed
children
and adolescents receive some kind of mental health care and
only a small fraction of
them receive evaluation and treatment
by child and adolescent psychiatrists.
