Mental disorders are a serious public health problem worldwide. The number of individuals with mental disorders increased 48.1 % from 654.80 million to 970.1 million from 1990 to 2019(Ferrari, 2022), and the economic burden of mental disorders was estimated to be over 4 trillion dollars every year(Arias et al., 2022). The number of children and adolescents(< 20 years old) with mental disorders was estimated to be 230 million in 2019(Piao, 2022). Because mental disorders often last for a long time, their early onset in childhood and adolescence may hinder the transition to a healthy adulthood and pose a direct threat towards an individual’s future health and well-being. Mental disorders are linked to various negative outcomes, including poor educational performance, substance abuse, unemployment, and increased crime rates. If remain untreated, mental disorders could generate negative social and economic consequences, including decreased economic productivity, elevated high school dropout rates, homelessness, and incarceration(Erskine, 2015; Kieling, 2024). As such, a better understanding of factors influencing mental disorders among children and adolescents is of great public health significance.
