Abstract
According to WHO 1 in 7 teenagers experience mental health difficulties globally. In Germany, 1 in 4 children experiences mental health difficulties. Research has shown that 50% of the mental illness occurs by the age of fourteen and almost 70% of adolescents don't get the treatment needed to combat the illness. In addition, the suicide rate is on the rise. Adolescent mental illnesses are affecting not only the person who is going through the illness but also their family members as well as society. For example, the productivity of parents with kids diagnosed with mental illness is reduced by 55%, resulting in a loss of income.
