Many psychiatric disorders begin in childhood or adolescence. Depressive and anxious symptoms are among the most prevalent in the juvenile public and, when untreated, may be related to higher rates of psychopathology in later development. The development of programs for the prevention and treatment of situations of suffering can be considered important because they aim to reduce symptoms and improve emotional, social and cognitive strategies.
