Mental health problems for children and adolescents refer to the range of all diagnosable emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. They include depression, attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and anxiety, conduct, and eating disorders.

A simple sentence contains a subject and verb; It expresses a single complete thought. A simple sentence is a single independent clause. Examples: The cat crept through the dark house. The mouse watched from underneath. The cat stopped and surveyed his surroundings.
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions such as (for, and, nor, but, or, and yet, so). Examples: The cat was unsuccessful in his attempt to catch the mouse, and the mouse was equally as unlucky in his attempt to get the cheese. The dog had watched all of this, but he had refused to become involved. The mouse could wait until dark, or he could risk a daylight raid.
A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A subordinating conjunction begins the dependent clauses. A dependent clause that begins a sentence must be followed by comma. A dependent clause has a subject and a verb, but it does not make sense on its own.
After he gave it some thought, the mouse decided to wait until later for his trick. The cat fell asleep on the warm kitchen because he was deprived of sleep the night before.
A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. The same subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce the dependent clauses. The same coordinating conjunctions are used to join the independent clauses.
Kate doesnt like cartoons because they are loud, so she doesn t watch them. The dog started barking so the cat ran away and I couldn t keep up, so I stopped. Usually I take a walk every day while the sun sets, but it was raining today. She likes to sleep in but she can get up early if she has work.
