This restrospective study is to determine the rate of psychiatric pathologies of adolescents who come for examination and treatment at the Department of Adolescent Health - National Children's Hospital from January 2020 to April 2021.  We use the ICD-10 International Classification of Diseases for diagnosis. The mental illnesses accounted for 27.9% of the adolescents who came for examination and treatment. Among psychiatric pathologies, three groups with the highest rates are behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence (chapter F9) with 45.9%, neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders (chapter F4) (29.4%) and  mood [affective] disorders (chapter F3) (8.1%). Among the psychiatric pathologies, mood disorder; anxiety and behaviour disorder are  the highest prevalent. We recommend  to  provide training to human resources in psychiatric specialties to  effectively treat these conditions.

This is a prospective study on 32 children with suicidal behavior who came to the National Children’s Hospital for examination and treatment from February 2020 to September 2022. There were more girls than boys (71.9%% vs 28.1%). There is a relationship between the child -parents, father-mother with the child’s suicidal behavior. The main events leading to children’s suicidal behavior are mainly related to the family and school environment, accounting for 87.5%, 62.5% children are introverted, 28.1% children have suicidal ideation and behavior and 18.8% of cases had self-destructive behavior. 81.2% of children showed warning signs before committing suicide. Suicide is more common in girls. Family relationships between parents and children are related to children’s suicidal behavior. The main events associated with suicidal behavior are primarily in the home and school settings. We recommend that children should be examined when they show warning signs related to suicide.
