Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of registered and psychiatric disorders were studied from birth to 24 years of age in a total population. The cumulative incidence of psychiatric disorders (meeting DSM III criteria) below 25 years was 13.9% for boys and 14.2% for girls. The outcomes of psychiatric disorders during childhood were generally good. Only 11% of children with an onset before age 10 remained in psychiatric care as young adults. Psychiatric disorders were more common among boys who had attended special classes. Low intelligence was related to psychiatric disorders with an onset before 15 years of age in males, but after 15 in females.Keywords
