Description
Alessio Bellato and six co-authors introduce a special issue arguing that child mental health should be studied across diagnoses, in a 2026 editorial. In real clinics, young people rarely carry one neat label: attention, mood, learning, and conduct problems arrive mixed. Yet research and care still mostly follow single-disorder tracks.
The issue gathers 26 papers mixing studies, reviews, and commentaries. Three strands run through them: shared underlying causes, trait scales that cut across labels, and care that respects how children grow. The editors frame the collection as a step toward tools that match how conditions actually present. For clinicians drowning in overlapping referrals, such shared frameworks promise simpler assessment and more honest treatment planning.
