Common Conditions in Pediatric
& Adolescent Mental Health
VMAP ECHO Cohort
22% of children and teens across America live with one or more mental health conditions, and this number is on the rise.1
Due to the nationwide shortage of mental health experts,2 most patients with mental health conditions see their PCPs first.3 This means that PCPs must be prepared to address these concerns in their daily practice.
