Minor-attracted persons report a high prevalence of general psychiatric symptoms that often go untreated due to a lack of willing clinicians with appropriate expertise. Providing psychiatric treatment to these patients can improve their mental health and possibly decrease the incidence of individuals who act on their attractions.
