Why adolescent medicine? Four illustrative cases.

Teenagers can be challenging patients. Physicians trained in a variety of specialties may vary greatly in their interest in adolescent health problems and their experience in dealing with them. Four cases are discussed in which important aspects of adolescent growth and development were overlooked and resulted in diagnostic errors. Physicians in all disciplines who deal with teenage patients need to familiarize themselves with the basic physiology and psychology of puberty and the common disease processes seen during adolescence.

New studies indicate that Indian children have increasing access to the media and that media violence will subject them to the same problems as Western children: imitation, desensitization, fear, and inappropriate attitudes about violence and aggression. Solutions exist but will have to be implemented within the next decade to protect Indian children and adolescents from the harmful effects of media violence.
