Adolescent mental wellbeing is a serious and un-recognized public health concern. Adolescent depression is widespread, but many may not have convenient accessibility to mental health resources. If they are diagnosed and handled early on, there is a greater likelihood of a good long-term result. Early identification and effective assistance-seeking can only arise if young adults and their "associates" (e.g., families, peers, and friends) are informed of the early differences affected by behavioral illness, as well as the best forms of help available and how to achieve it. The aim of a mental first aid kit is to offer advice and instruction to parents and peers about how to recognize and support people who are struggling from mental illnesses. Since this is a popular issue among teenagers, a Juvenile MHFA curriculum must be initiated in schools and colleges to include instruction on how to utilize the MHFA. This review focuses on understanding the seriousness of mental disorders in adolescents and use of MHFA to recognize it.
