Follow-up research shows that adolescents who have emotional and behavioral disorders are likely to have psychiatric problems nearly 30 years later, according to a study entitled “Continuities between Emotional and Disruptive Behavior Disorders in Adolescence and Personality Disorders in Adulthood,” by Margareth Helgeland, Ellen Kjelsberg, and Svenn Torgersen. The article is published in the American Journal of Psychiatry (2005, volume 162, pp. 1941-1947) which requires a subscription, but the abstract is available via Pub Med. Link.
