Suicidal Risk and Adverse Social Outcomes in Adulthood Associated with Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders : Risque suicidaire et r ésultats sociaux indésirables à l'âge adulte associés aux troubles mentaux de l'enfant et de l'adolescent

CONCLUSION: Mental disorders diagnosed in childhood and adolescence are important risk factors not only for mental disorders in adulthood but also for a range of early adult adversity. These findings provide an evidence-based prognosis of children's long-term well-being and a rationale for ensuring timely access to mental health services. Better population-level mental health promotion and early intervention for children and adolescents with mental disorders are promising for improving future adult outcomes.PMID:34796744 | DOI:10.1177/07067437211055417
