●Mental illness at the age of 17 and 18 is related to the inhibition difficulties in childhood at the age of 8.
● Hypomanic symptoms at age 22 and 23 were associated with memory impairment in childhood at age 10.
Isabel Morales-Muñoz, PhD, from the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Mental Health, said the study confirms that cognitive deficits in children do have a large impact on the potential impact on young people’s minds.
Mental disorders pose a significant global burden of disease, with at least 10% of children and adolescents worldwide suffering from mental illness, the team said. And 75% of psychiatric disorders diagnosed in adults develop symptoms during childhood and adolescence.
The research team believes that affective disorders, depressive symptoms and psychosis usually appear in adolescence and persist in adolescence, and these psychological conditions may be related to social, biological or environmental factors, and also contribute to abnormal development in adolescents.
