Abstract

Objective: To examine unfavorable sociodemographic, clinical, and functional long‐term outcomes for a range of adolescent mental disorders. Methods: A total number of 2210 adolescents and young adults (14–24 years at baseline, T0) from a representative community sample were prospectively followed up (T1–T3) over 10 years. DSM ‐ IV mental disorders, sociodemographic, clinical, and functional outcomes were assessed using the DIA ‐X/M‐ CIDI and its embedded assessment modules. Results: In (multinomial) logistic regressions adjusted for sex, age, other baseline disorders and sociodemographics, baseline anxiety, affective, substance use, somatoform and eating disorders (lifetime) predicted various unfavorable sociodemographic, clinical, and functional outcomes at T3. Particularly, strong associations were found between baseline disorders and adverse clinical outcomes at T3 (12‐month diagnosis of the same/other disorder(s), drug use, suicide attempts, and help‐seeking due to psychological problems). While substance use disorders were primarily associated with unfavorable sociodemographic and educational outcomes, anxiety and eating disorders were associated with unfavorable interpersonal outcomes, affective disorders with pregnancy‐/childbirth‐related complications and financial issues, and somatoform disorders with unfavorable educational/occupational and interpersonal outcomes. The risk of unfavorable outcomes increased with clinical severity, especially a higher number of baseline diagnoses. Conclusions: Our findings emphasize the importance of effective treatment of mental disorders to prevent unfavorable long‐term outcomes in various life domains.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
