Abstract

Adolescence is a stressful time frame both for the children and for the parents and also for the health personnel to protect them from various physical, psychological and environmental influences that occur due to their pubertal and hormonal influences. Many of the earlier studies had quoted that adolescent is a period of ‘stress and storm’. But only the recent studies are focussing much on the impact of stress leading to one or more psychiatric morbidity due to chronic influence of this stress. Therefore this review article focuses on the impact of stress for one or more psychiatric morbidity among adolescent.
