ABSTRACT
For children and young adults, living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses physical, mental, and social challenges. The mental health functioning of children and adolescents with CKD plays an important role in the medical, educational, vocational, and quality of life outcomes, yet receives little systematic attention in the busy pediatric nephrology clinic. This article will provide an overview of the prevalence of mental illness and symptoms in children and young adults with CKD, strategies to assess for dysfunction, and the long-term outcomes associated with impaired functioning. While there is a relative dearth of literature regarding evidence-based interventions in this population to improve mental health functioning, we provide "best practice" strategies based on the available literature to address emotional and/or behavioral challenges once they are identified. More research is needed to define appropriate interventions to alleviate mental health issues and social-emotional distress, and this review of the literature will serve to provide directions for future research.
