Puberty is a critical period of development in which individuals undergo physical, psychological, and social changes as they transition from childhood to adulthood. It is typically marked by the onset of sexual maturation, such as the development of secondary sexual characteristics like breast development in females and facial hair growth in males. During puberty, hormonal changes trigger physical growth, sexual development, and changes in brain structure and function. These changes can impact individuals' emotions, behavior, cognitive processes, and social relationships. Puberty can also influence mental health, as adolescents may experience mood swings, impulsivity, and increased susceptibility to mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Research in the field of puberty seeks to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the timing and progression of puberty, as well as the impacts of puberty on overall development and well-being. This research is important for identifying risk factors for negative outcomes during adolescence and informing interventions to support healthy development during this critical period.
