abstract="This study was designed as a contribution to the understanding of the continuities and discontinuities between child and adolescent psychopathology. The study is retrospective and describes a group of patients with hospital records in the center for child psychiatry and the center for adolescent psychiatry of a Danish county. On the basis of information from the hospital records all patients were rediagnosed as children and as adolescents in accordance with the ICD-10. During a 3-year period 397 adolescent patients were seen at a first psychiatric interview. Of these patients 11% had previously had contact with the child psychiatric center. They constitute the study group. Diagnostic stability and change is described. For 43% of the study group the main category of the main diagnosis did not change from childhood to adolescence. Forty-five per cent had indication of central nervous system dysfunction, and 21% had attempted suicide.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
