Youth Psychology

Youth Psychology is a branch of psychology focused on the mental, emotional, and social development of children and adolescents. It examines the psychological changes that occur as young people grow and mature, including aspects of identity formation, peer relationships, coping mechanisms, and the impact of family and environmental factors. Youth psychology aims to understand behavioral patterns, social interactions, and the way young individuals perceive their surroundings and themselves. It involves applying psychological principles to support healthy development, address challenges like anxiety or depression, and promote well-being during the formative years of life. Through research and practice, youth psychology seeks to guide interventions and enrich the understanding of the psychological needs of the younger population.
