Adolescent Medicine

Adolescent medicine addresses the health of 10 to 19 year olds, including growth, puberty, nutrition, mental health and vaccination. Iron deficiency anaemia is common in teenage girls.

Teenagers benefit from private, respectful conversations with a doctor. Seek help early for low mood, eating concerns or substance use.
