Paediatric disorders & Adolescent Psychiatry forms and causes are very diverse in nature, primarily categorized in to two: (1) Psychiatric and (2) learning disorders. These disorders commonly diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence, principally caused by impairments in brain development, analysis has shown that issues in genes, molecules, and cells contribute to numerous childhood disorders. A number of these are primarily disorders of the brain, whereas others caused due to activity or nature. Structural abnormalities of the brain may be caused at or shortly when birth or they will result from a physical stress like health problem or injury, or associated with emotional stress, like trauma. ADHD, one of the most common mental disorders in  Paediatric and adolescent psychiatry, also affects an estimated 4.1% of adults, ages 18-44. A recent study reported the prevalence of autism in 3-10 year-olds to be about 3.4 cases per 1000 children. This topic mainly focuses on the various disorders, research and awareness programs which may lead to new drug development and early diagnosis.
