This presentation examines the psychological, socioemotional, and developmental challenges faced by adolescents with high abilities in Latin America within a global framework. Drawing on Gagne's Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent and regional evidence, it highlights the risks of under identification, cultural biases, and the invisibility of "twice-exceptional" youth. Emphasis is placed on mental health vulnerabilities—including anxiety, perfectionism, and social isolation—that frequently coexist with advanced cognitive potential. Evidence-based strategies for identification, clinical and educational support, and culturally responsive interventions are discussed, stressing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches that integrate clinical, educational, and community psychology. By framing adolescent talent as both a developmental potential and a socioemotional responsibility, this work calls for policies and practices that transform talent recognition into sustainable well-being and social inclusion.
