Mental Health Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood
The transition from adolescence to adulthood involves many changes in mental health. The psychological and emotional developments are pivotal during puberty and can lead to major shifts in an adult’s personality. Sociological factors such as peer pressure, interpersonal relationships and family conflicts are also impactful during this age. Mental health disorders are majority identified during adolescence and early adulthood. Therefore, it is imperative to take good care of young ones.
Adolescence to Adulthood
Adolescence is an interaction between biological, behavioural and social domains – beginning with the biological (puberty) and ending with the social (adult roles and responsibilities). It is a time of change and renegotiation of roles. Therefore, individuals at this age can face many challenges such as relationship issues, social anxiety, body image-related issues and even academic concerns.
One hasn’t completely settled with the teenage that adulthood kicks in. We all know this change comes with many other difficulties, psychological, emotionally and on an overall mental health basis. The mental health transition can be overwhelming for many, especially those who lack good peer or family support. These issues and other transition in mental health that takes from adolescence to adulthood are discussed in much detail at this MHT Conversation with Ms.Zahra Diwan.
