Abstract:
Adolescent anxiety, depressive, and eating disorders are a worsening population health issue that primary care clinicians play a critical role in addressing. Implementing universal screening into clinical practices for depression at age 12 years and anxiety at age 8 years is the first step to diagnosis. Referencing 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders diagnostic criteria is essential to making the correct diagnosis after ruling out underlying medical conditions. The evidence-based mainstays of treatment are unique to each specific disorder.
