-----------------
Paediatric behavioural, developmental, and mental health issues are more common than childhood cancers, cardiac problems, and renal problems combined. Behavioural problems have often been conceptualized along two broad spectrums: internalizing problems which are expressed in intrapersonal manifestation, such as anxiety, depression, and withdrawal; and externalizing problems which are demonstrated in interpersonal manifestation, such as hyperactivity and aggression The lack of attention to the mental health of children and adolescents may lead to mental disorders with lifelong consequences, undermines compliance with health regimens, and reduces the capacity of societies to be safe and productive. As, children and adolescent mental health problems often have serious long term debilitating effects . Early identification and treatment of these problems are in the best interest of children, adolescents, their families, and society as a whole .
