Children Doing YogaChildren and teens can develop the same mental health conditions as adults, but their symptoms may be different or hard to identify. If you need help starting a conversation with your child or teen about mental health, see MentalHealth.gov’s resources for parents and caregivers.

Mental health problems can be treated. Learn about mental health resources offered by your state, such as individual, family, and marital counseling; behavioral health services; and substance abuse programs.
