Multiple health complaints
Health complaints, encompassing both physical (headache, stomach ache, backache, feeling dizzy) and psychological symptoms (feeling low, irritability or bad mood, feeling nervous, and difficulties sleeping), act as markers of intertwined mental and physical health during adolescence. Insight into these often co-occurring symptoms is vital for understanding and addressing the holistic well-being of young people.
