Abstract

This study investigates the application of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the treatment of psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents. By adapting CBT techniques to suit younger populations, the research highlights the potential benefits and challenges of implementation. Findings indicate that CBT effectively reduces symptoms in conditions such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety. The article discusses adaptations necessary for successful therapy with young patients and the importance of involving family in the treatment process. The research underscores the significance of early intervention and tailored therapy to foster better mental health outcomes in youth.
