Adolescence is also the time when psychopathology often first appears.
Little is known about the long-term influence of family factors on either the development of adolescent psychopathology or the outcomes of disorder. Young people making the transition from adolescence into young adulthood are experiencing the coincidence of two important life periods. They are transitioning through a time when family events, personal choices, opportunities, and setbacks have a magnified effect on future success. Unfortunately design weaknesses in almost all earlier studies leave family members and professionals with little knowledge of what to change or strengthen to help children avoid mental disorder. To be truly helpful, a study must use prospectively collected, longitudinal data that includes information about both adolescent and young adult psychopathology and a complete assessment of family characteristics.
