Sažetak
In the last few years studies have shown a significant increase in psychic disorders among children and adolescents. The four disorders have been shown as the most alarming. In the first place is depression and suicide which is an integral problem of it. In the second place is anxiety disorder, which is the most common disorder in the population. In the third place is attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) which represents the biggest problem for the teachers. The last and the most acute disorder is schizophrenia. In most patients it begins in the age between 15 and 25. Besides these disorders a huge problem in the society today is child abuse. In most cases it triggers the aforementioned disorders in later life. Due to the concerning results of these studies we decided to start a project for preventing the development of symptoms in children and adolescents. The aim of this project is to start a new and better education about psychic disorders in children and adolescents for teachers in primary and high schools. Moreover we are trying to educate the teachers about symptoms of disorders in the pupils in order to recognize them and to become more efficient in working with those pupils. As the studies have shown these disorders are not curable. The only thing that we can do is to control the symptoms by prescribing medicine or going to psychotherapy. But the most important thing in treatment is to start in the early stages of the disease. Recognizing the early symptoms in pupils and preventing them to develop into a disease is the best way to help children and adolescents.
