Adolescent Maladjustment or Affective Disorder?
Abstract
Data were obtained on 35 patients under age 21 from the time they appeared for treatment. All had illnesses compatible with the basic psychological and biological disturbances seen in affective disorders in adults. However, their presenting symptoms were heavily influenced by concerns of adolescence. The data suggest that primary affective disorders are not uncommon in young patients; correct diagnosis and treatment of emotional illness in this age group is important.
