Few Young Adults Seek Treatment for Psych Disorders
Date:12/1/2008

rchers noted there's a high overall rate of psychiatric disorders among young adults, who are at a vulnerable stage of development.

"The vast majority of disorders in this population can be effectively treated with evidence-based psychosocial and pharmacological approaches," they wrote. "Early treatment could reduce the persistence of these disorders and their associated functional impairment, loss of productivity and increased health-care costs. As these young people represent our nation's future, urgent action is needed to increase detection and treatment of psychiatric disorders among college students and their non-college-attending peers."
