Adoleszentenpsychiatrie

Young adults represent a special group in psychiatric care, as they have different requirements for diagnostics, therapy and treatment settings from children and adolescents, but often cannot be adequately treated and supported in adult psychiatry either. The transition from one treatment setting to another is often perceived as difficult and carries the risk of treatment being discontinued.

The problem is presented based on a case report, different settings were examined using scientific data and the results regarding specifics in diagnostics and therapy as well as treatment settings are presented.
