"Child and adolescent mental health is an essential component of overall health and its\nimportance is gaining increased recognition. Current events have heightened an interest\nin the mental health of youth. Unfortunately, too often this is due to concerns about the\nmental health consequences of war, prolonged conflict, natural disasters, AIDS, and\nsubstance abuse. Special populations of repatriated child soldiers and street children are a\nvivid reminder of the many children who have been deprived of an environment that\ncould support healthy development. Further, there is an increased understanding that\nchildren who are not mentally healthy can have an adverse impact on the stability and\neconomic viability of nations. Of particular importance throughout the world is the fact\nthat positive mental health plays a role in supporting compliance and adherence to a\nbroad spectrum of health regimens.\nYet, the almost universally expressed recognition of the importance for societies, as well\nas for the individual, to have children and adolescents attain adulthood with good mental\nhealth has not brought forth the economic and human resources necessary to meet the\nobservable need. The reasons for this gap are several and include the world’s ambivalent\nview of the worth of children in societies, the view of children as family property to be\nused for work, a lack of comprehension that children have a mental life, and a failure to\nunderstand developmental psychopathology (WHO, 2003). It is only now with progress\nbeing made in the eradication of infectious diseases and the improvement of nutritional\nstatus, and improved health education in many locales that it may become possible for\nsocieties to consider the mental health of children as a priority issue."^^ .
