Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The investigation of clinical characteristics of patients in adolescence psychiatry relevant for transition medicine.
METHODOLOGY: Sociodemographic and clinical data (SCID I/II, SIPS/SOPS, SPI-A, GAF, CGI) were consecutively taken from the interdisciplinary inpatient treatment centre for adolescents and young adults with mental disorders (N = 229, aged 16 - 25).
RESULTS: Average age was 19 years (38 % male, 23 % migration background). A high proportion of early mental illnesses and comorbidities (66 %), psychosis risk syndromes (20 %) and suicidality (54 %), treatment discontinuation (33 %) with daily-life, social and family stress factors (52 % positive family history, 34 % trauma) were observed and a persistently high level of support and treatment was needed despite a significant clinical improvement (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The results support the need for an interdisciplinary collaboration for the joint development of care structures in transition medicine.
