Adolescent & Young Adult Health

Adolescence is a developmental period marked by physical, psychological, and social changes. These changes continue into young adulthood as individuals are still reaching sexual maturity, increasing in intellectual capacity, searching for identity and their place in society, increasing independence and autonomy, and the developing relationships with significant others. The Mill City Medical team specializes in addressing the age-specific health issues that arise during this milestone stage of life.

These days, adolescents and young adults can often feel significant pressures from their peers, social media, and other external influences. From a health perspective, it’s a time when some preteens and teens run the risk of not going to the doctor as regularly as they may have as children. However, they can have real and significant health issues that need a doctor’s attention. Understandably, adolescence is also the time when a number of adult illnesses may present themselves for the first time.

At this stage, adolescents need to start taking on more responsibility for their health and ensuring that they go onto live healthy adult lives. Although many adolescents make this transition to adulthood without major problems, they often need reassurance, guidance, and support to make the right healthcare decisions. At Mill City Medical, we can help provide this assistance and be a trusted partner in managing your adolescent’s health and wellbeing.
