Maladaptive behaviour refers to the type of behaviour that inhibits a person’s ability to adjust to certain situations. We inevitably face challenges and conflicts in daily life and must adapt our behaviour to face them. Sometimes, however, people can develop a tendency to escape these challenges rather than deal with them.There are several types of maladaptive behaviour, ranging from relatively minor impairments (such as nail-biting and separation difficulties), to more severe impairments (such as self-harm). Substance abuse,binge drinking,eating disorders,suicide ideation etc. are some of the maladpative behaviours found in adolescents. Adolescent development typically begins around 11 years of age and continues until 19 to 21 years. The developmental stages of adolescence, which include physical, cognitive and social emotional development, are divided into early, middle and late adolescence. The goal of adolescent development is to move toward a more mature sense of self and purpose. Teens learn how to establish and maintain healthy relationships, share intimacy comfortably and to understand abstract ideas and develop their own moral viewpoints. Physical Development-Between 11 and 13 years, many physical changes occur as teens enter early adolescence. Teens at this age start to grow body hair and gain height and weight rapidly. Breast and hip development and menstruation begin in girls, and boys experience a deepening of voice. Between the ages of 14 and 18, middle adolescence begins and physical growth slows for girls. In boys, growth continues to late adolescence, which occurs between 19 and 21 years of age. While girls are fully physically developed by the beginning of late adolescence, young men will continue to gain weight, muscle mass, body hair and height. Cognitive Development-In early adolescence, teens show a growing capacity for abstract thought. Their intellect expands and knowledge becomes more important. Teens between 11 and 13 will also show the ability for deeper moral thinking. As teens move into middle adolescence, their capacity for abstract thought continues to increase. They are interested in setting goals and in moral reasoning. By late adolescence, teens are able to think ideas through, delay gratification and examine their inner emotions and experiences. They show an increased concern for the future and continue to be interested in moral reasoning. Social Emotional Development-Teens struggle with their sense of identity during early adolescence and tend to feel awkward about their bodies and worry about being normal. Teens at this stage of development begin to see that Mom and Dad aren’t perfect, and conflicts may arise as their desire for independence and the influence of their peer group increase. Moodiness, testing boundaries and a greater interest in privacy are concerning but indicate normal social emotional development. Peer groups in early adolescence usually consist of platonic friendships, and members typically share interests and behave and dress in a similar fashion. Researchers believe that brain changes in adolescence increase a teen’s vulnerability to depression and anxiety, and play a role in the severe gender disparity in these disorders. Depression and bipolar disorder affect 14.3% of youth age 13-17¹ 11.7% of the adolescents met criteria for major depressive disorder or dysthymia, a less severe but more persistent depressive disorder There is a nearly two-fold increase in mood disorders from 13 to 18, from 8.4% to 15.4% Anxiety and depression in high school kids have been on the rise since 2012 after several years of stability. It's a phenomenon that cuts across all demographics--suburban, urban and rural; those who are college bound and those who aren't. Family financial stress can exacerbate these issues, and studies show that girls are more at risk than boys. Social media,competition,low self esteem about one's body imgae,relationship problems,school pressures etc. are all creating anxiety and depression among teenagers.
