This module will provide you with a broad overview of the major childhood and adolescent neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions, including epidemiology and development, risk and protective factors and interventions. You will learn about the current research in childhood and adolescent psychopathology and how to critically appraise the evidence base for interventions. The module will also explore the role of societal changes (e.g., digitalisation, family structure), and broader context (e.g., loneliness, bullying, academic pressure) on adolescent psychological wellbeing and mental health. Finally, you will explore the role of broader psychosocial factors and culture in our understanding of childhood and adolescent psychopathology.
