Abstract
The relevance of research into child and adolescent psychosomatics is driven primarily by the significant rise in the prevalence of psychosomatic disorders and complaints among children and adolescents within the general population. In terms of prevalence, these conditions predominate among non-communicable diseases affecting this age group. According to World Health Organization data, one in seven adolescents worldwide aged 10–19 (14.3%) suffers from a mental disorder. Adolescence is characterized by high nervous system lability and represents a critical period for the development of psychosomatic conditions. The increase in stress-inducing factors within educational and social environments has led to a rise in the prevalence of psychosomatic disorders among adolescents. Conventional pharmacotherapy is often limited by side effects and age-related contraindications, necessitating the search for effective non-pharmacological correction methods [1].
