This course explores the emergence and progression of psychological disorders from a developmental perspective. Emphasizing the interplay of biological, psychological, and environmental factors, students will examine how risk and protective influences shape mental health outcomes across childhood and adolescence. Key topics include the classification and diagnosis of disorders, trajectories of atypical development, and the implications for prevention and intervention. Through an integrative and research-based approach, the course encourages critical thinking about the complexity of mental health in developmental context.
