This following statement is correct.

"Several important mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders, often start during childhood and adolescence. Some disorders, such as autism, start only during childhood."

Yes, there is evidence that some mental disorders begin at an early age (during childhood) and/or emerge during adolescence. In such situations, early interventions can be helpful.

Mental health disorders in children and adolescents are increasingly recognized as important aspects of overall health and development. These disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and autism spectrum disorders, can affect emotional well-being, academic performance, and social relationships.

Common signs of mental health issues in young people include changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or appetite, as well as difficulties in school, social withdrawal, or even physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches. Early identification and intervention are crucial for effective management. Causes can be complex, often involving a mix of genetic, environmental, and social factors, such as family dynamics, trauma, and stress.

Treatment options may involve a combination of approaches, such as therapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy or family therapy), medication, and lifestyle changes. Schools, healthcare providers, and families play a significant role in providing support and resources for children with mental health disorders. Importantly, awareness and understanding from parents, teachers, and peers can help reduce stigma and create a supportive environment for recovery and growth.

Indeed, many mental health disorders appear in childhood and are not treated early because some parents refuse treatment and deny the existence of these disorders. Therefore, we need an educational campaign on this subject.
