Interventions for Youth with Chronic Health Conditions

  • Treatment is important since the presence of the condition affects mental health which in turn effects condition management - this pattern can become a cycle if an individual is not careful
  • Interventions that address the emotional factors of living with chronic illness, as well as improving coping skills and stress management, can go a long way in reducing the mental strain of living with a chronic condition
  • Overall, results show that CBT and family based interventions can reduce rates of depression and anxiety
