Description
Hi, the answer has already been completed and just needs to be revised which has been attached. The answer currently does not address the part of the prompt that states “Outline assessment strategies to screen for this issue and external stressors during an assessment for an adolescent patient.” The answer does not mention specific assessment strategies that can be used for the adolescent patient. The following sentence also has incorrect capitalizations “Regarding assessment strategies to screen for Mental Health among Adolescents, the following should be considered.” The answer was also supposed to not exceed “550 Words Times New Roman Size 12 Font Double-Spaced APA Format Excluding the Title and Reference Pages.” The answer currently is “572 Times New Roman Size 12 Font Double-Spaced APA Format Excluding the Title and Reference Pages.” The answer also did not answer the following prompt correctly either which states “Describe what additional assessment questions you would need to ask and define the ethical parameters regarding what you can and cannot share with the parent or guardian.” The answer does not provide specific assessment questions to ask. It just states what should be asked to the adolescent patient rather than develop literal specific questions to ask that end with a question mark. Furthermore, the question asks to define ethical parameters which is not included in the answer. The answer just states that there are ethical parameters but never lists which ones. This is evident in the following sentence “There are ethical parameters regarding what I can and cannot share with the parent or guardian, as the adolescent has a right to privacy (Meherali et al., 2021).”

Introduction
Mental health issues are a huge contemporary issue that adolescents face today. It is
estimated that 1 in 5 adolescents have a mental health disorder, the most common being anxiety
and depression. Many factors can contribute to mental health issues in adolescents, like the
history of the family with mental issues, bullying, and academic impediments (Al-Zawaadi et al.,
2021). Mental health disorders can significantly impact an adolescent’s life, making it difficult to
function at home, school, and social situations. The paper below focuses on mental health as a
contemporary issue affecting adolescents.
Many external stressors can contribute to mental health issues in adolescents. Family
history is a major factor, as mental health disorders can be passed down from generation to
generation. Bullying is also a major stressor, as it can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and
depression. Social media can also be a source of stress for adolescents, as it can create a sense of
comparison and inadequacy (Gunasekaran et al., 2022). Academic pressure can also be a major
stressor, as adolescents feel the need to meet the expectations of their parents and teachers.
Regarding assessment strategies to screen for Mental Health among Adolescents, the
following should be considered. Family history should be assessed, as mental health disorders
can be passed down from generation to generation. The adolescent should also be asked about
any experiences with bullying, as this can be a major stressor. Social media use should also be
assessed, as it can be a source of stress for many teenagers (Gunasekaran et al., 2022).
Adolescents should also be asked about their academic performance, as this can be a major
source of stress.

There are many additional assessment questions that I would need to ask in order to
assess for mental health issues in an adolescent patient. I would need to ask about family history,
as mental health disorders can be passed down from generation to generation. I would also need
to ask about experiences with bullying, as this can be a major stressor. I would also ask about
their academic performance, as this can be a major source of stress, predisposing them to mental
issues. There are ethical parameters regarding what I can and cannot share with the parent or
guardian, as the adolescent has a right to privacy (Meherali et al., 2021). However, if the
adolescent is at risk of harming themselves or others, the parent or guardian should be notified.
Many support options are available for adolescents experiencing external stressors to
mental health. Family counseling can be helpful for families who are struggling with mental
health issues. Therapy can also be helpful for adolescents who are struggling to cope with
external stressors. There are also many support groups available, such as support groups for
families with mental health issues and support groups for adolescents struggling with mental
health issues (Meherali et al., 2021). Medication can also be helpful for adolescents who are
struggling with mental health disorders.
Conclusion
Mental health issue is one of the contemporary issues affecting adolescents today. The
issue manifests due to anxiety and depressive disorders. Academic pressure also plays a role in
the manifestation of the issue. Some stressor factors to the condition are family history, bullying,
and academic strain. Assessment is based on determining the issue within the family tree or
4
whether acts such as bullying and social media pressure lead to the condition’s manifestation.
Treatment can be both pharmacological and psychological.
