Comprehensive Integrated Psychiatric Assessment
Following recent research, the level of mental health problems
among children and adolescents has risen dramatically (American
Psychiatric Association, 2013). The present-day life and current
associations within the society contribute greatly to these
adversities. Culture, environmental exposure, social and economic
status are frequent predisposing factors to mental and behavioral
disorders. For example, domestic violence, sexual assault and the
rising prevalence of divorces are the most common causes of
mental health problems among the youth (American Psychiatric
Association, 2013. Nonetheless, assessing and treating children
and adolescents is very challenging. Psychiatric mental health
nursing practitioners (PMHNPs) ought to be patient and diligent
when practicing mental assessments to this type of clients.
