The Relationship Between Self-Esteem And Mental Health Disorders In Adolescents

Abstract

Self-esteem is a fundamental aspect of an adolescent's psychological well-being. The relationship between self-esteem and mental health disorders is complex, with various studies indicating that low self-esteem contributes significantly to the development of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders in adolescents. This article explores the connection between self-esteem and mental health disorders in adolescents, focusing on the impact of poor self-image on mental health, and the role of external and internal factors in shaping self-esteem. The study also discusses effective strategies to improve self-esteem in adolescents as a preventive measure against mental health disorders.
