A Study on Age and Gender Difference in Mental Health of Young Adults
Abstract
The transition to adulthood is a continuous process of rapid developmental change that starts accelerating at age 16, and for most, is completed by age 30. It is an important and exciting time for all young people. During this period, most individuals take steps to live more independently and to depend less on family support. These steps, which involve completing school and training, launching work lives, and developing relationships with others, can greatly influence much of their future adult life. However, for youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions the changes during this stage of life are challenging and complex. During the transition to adulthood individuals are neither children nor mature adults; their development, functioning, and service needs are different from those who are older or younger (Transitions RTC, 2011).
