청소년기는 성인으로 완성되는 과도기로서 아동과 비슷한 면도 있고, 또 성인다운 점도 있는데 사회는 그들을 아동으로도 성인으로도 받아들여지 않아 부적응 상태에 빠지게 된다. 즉 아동기 사회로부터 성인사회로 적응하는 과정에서 일어나는 생리적,신체적, 정신적 변화의 양상이 그들의 적응곤란을 일으커는 원인이라 할 수 있다. 그러므로 청소년기는 인생의 단계 중 가장 어려운 단계로 옴은 성인이지만 정신은 아직 어린아이와 같아서 사소한 일에도 충격과 스트레스를 많이 받는 시기라 할 수 있으며, 부모로부터의 독립, 이성에 대한 태도 형성, 신체발육의 완성, 책임있는 사회인으로서의 인생판 형성, 장래의 생활 계획의 확립 등의 기본적 문제로부터 파생되는 것들이 청소년들을 신경증으로 이끄는 원인이 되기도 한다.
