This work is a continuation of a study on `Depressive and anxiety disorders in adolescents. A psycho-spiritual approach and statistical contextualization` and highlights from a theoretical perspective the interdependent relationship between the spiritual and mental health, which should be seriously contemplated when creating a therapy plan for adolescents with depressive and anxiety disorders. It also deals with the connection between health and the temptations of the current world, which theology and spirituality distinguish in the multitude of emotional and psychological disorders. Additionally, this study showcases the psychotherapies in a synthetic manner: cognitive-behavioral, existential, logotherapy and interpersonal psychotherapy and highlights the inherent value of their interconnection with religious acts such as fasting, prayer, confession, which support the medical-psychological therapeutics, providing adolescents with discipline in the process of healing these contemporary pathologies.
