Most of the adolescents fear to attend the out-patients departments for Psychiatry or Psychology, so as not to be considered disturbed or crazy, because they ignore that mental health and well-being are essential for the collective and individual ability of thinking, for expressing feelings, for interacting with the rest and for enjoying life. Some of their false and true beliefs on the meaning of the psychiatric care are exposed and the importance of health promotion, mainly mental, directed to this population sector is highlighted
