Children, adolescents at risk of mental health disorders, says Dr Zaliha

JOHOR BARU: Children and adolescents have been identified as the groups that are at risk of mental health disorders, but the issue is not getting the attention it deserves, says Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa (pic).

She said the transition from childhood to adulthood is the most critical phase in the process of physical change, cognitive maturity and emotional management and they have the tendency to feel confused and left out when they fail to adapt to social environments.
