    Adolescence typically begins around age 10 and ends by age 20 or 25, with emerging adulthood extending to age 25. During this period, teenagers should see their doctor at least once per year or every six months during growth spurts from ages 11 to 14 to check for common issues like eating disorders, obesity, substance abuse, asthma, menstrual disorders, and unplanned pregnancies. When choosing a doctor, it is best to select one with training in adolescent care, though a pediatrician who cared for the person during childhood may also continue to do so if desired.
