Mental health problems and suicidal behavior from adolescence to young adulthood in college: linking two population-based studies

Borge Sivertsen et al.

Summary: This study reveals that mental health problems in adolescence tend to persist into young adulthood, impacting long-term mental well-being. The findings show that internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescence significantly increase the risk of developing mental disorders six years later, while self-harm in adolescence increases the risk of suicidal thoughts. The results highlight the significance of early identification and timely interventions to reduce the prevalence and impact of mental health problems and suicidality.
