Lifestyles and mental health in adolescence: Theoretical foundations, empirical evidence and socio-educational intervention

Lifestyles and Mental Health in Adolescence: Theoretical Foundations, Empirical Evidence, and Socio-educational Intervention stands as a rigorous and interdisciplinary work that demystifies the idea of ​​youth well-being as a mere act of individual will, solidly articulating it with developmental neurobiology, biopsychosocial models, and the structural determinants of the school and community environment. Through valuable empirical and methodological analysis focused on the reality of Peruvian adolescents, the authors not only demonstrate how critical habits such as rest, nutrition, sedentary behavior, and digital interaction directly modulate anxiety and depression, but also transcend clinical diagnosis by offering operational guidelines, multicomponent programs, and public health guidelines aimed at strengthening emotional self-regulation and a sense of self-actualization in classrooms and at home. With an exemplary balance between academic depth and practical applicability, this text is an indispensable resource for educators, psychologists, health professionals, and public policy managers committed to the comprehensive and preventive development of new generations.
