Youth is a group of unique people with specific health problems and needs. Adolescence is the highest age of onset of serious mental illness such as depression and psychosis. Excessive stress from physical, emotional, social, and sexual change overloads teens. It leads to anxiety, withdrawal, aggression, poor coping ability, and actual physical illness. Adolescence is characterized by the rapid changes in physical and mental well-being of individuals, and the growing needs and influences of fellows, schools and broader societies. There is sufficient evidence that actions developed during this period may affect adult health. Adolescents use behavior that harms health (such as smoking, drinking alcohol) and health promoting activities (such as exercise), but they often become adults.
