For example, significant proportion of all mental health disorders begin by age 14; 1 in 6 children below the age of 10 has a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder; Boys are more likely than girls to have behavioral and developmental disorders, such as conduct disorders; and girls are more likely than boys to have mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
Emotional and behavioral problems can lead to poor school performance and vice versa, which can also result in problems in later life.
