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.

Paranoid is the most common delusion in people living with schizophrenia spectrum disorders which are present in about half of all people seeking treatment for a psychotic disorder. Schizophrenia is a persistent mental illness characterized by a wide range of symptoms, including delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior, and cognitive impairment. Capgras syndrome is a form of the delusional belief in which a person has been replaced by an imposter. It can be seen in mental disorders as well as in central nervous system diseases in the form of neurodegenerative and non- neurodegenerative diseases The Capgras Syndrome is not an unusual condition, but an infrequent one which is possibly often unnoticed. A 48- years- old woman was admitted in female psychiatric ward with known case of paranoid schizophrenia with capgras syndrome. In the present case, the treatment approach was mainly somatic therapy i.e. psychopharmacotherapy, Electro convulsive Therapy (ECT) and psychological therapy. Psychiatric nurses have to play an important role to identify the symptoms and they should think critically, take action immediately to provide care to such type of patients.
