Abstract Introduction: The Emotional disorder is a condition characterized by an inability to learn and build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers, inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances, a general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression, and a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. Behavior problems among children are a deviation from the accepted pattern of behavior on the part of children when they are exposed to an inconsistent social and cultural environment. 2001 WHO report indicates the 6-month prevalence rate for any MHD in CYP, up to age 17 years, to be 20.9%. Identification and selection of suitable therapeutic strategies need multi-level and multi-disciplinary approaches, holistic management strategies play significant roles which include combinations of several interventions like a child- and family-focused psychological interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral modification, and social communication enhancement techniques, parenting skills training and psychopharmacology. The pharmacological treatment is usually considered in combination with psychological and other environmental interventions such as counseling, behavioral therapies, interpersonal psychotherapy, parent management training, social skills training, school based interventions, play therapy, expressive arts therapy, diet and exercise, and attachment based therapy. Conclusion: Emotional and behavioral disorders of children and adolescents have significant negative impacts on the parents as well as society, in the form of direct behavioral consequences and costs, and on the individual, in the form of poor academic, occupational and psychosocial functioning and on the family. Prevention and management of EBD are not easy and it requires an integrated multidisciplinary effort by healthcare providers at different levels to be involved in the assessment, prevention, and management of affected individuals, and also to provide social, economic, and psycho-emotional support to the affected families. This is a very crucial topic for developing countries where the most importance is given to children and youth community.
