Parents who suspect their grown children could have a mental-health problem should get an assessment right away. 'It's extremely complicated even for professionals to parse out what's developmental and what's a mental-health problem in this age period,' says Dr. Tanner. 'If your kid won't go, go yourself and get professional advice. You can't even start working on the developmental stuff if there's a mental-health issue,' she says.

怀疑自己的子女可能有心理问题的家长应该立刻带孩子去检查。坦纳说，“即使是专业人员，要分析出这个年龄阶段里哪些属于心理发展问题，哪些属于心理健康问题都是一件极端复杂的事情。如果你的孩子不愿意去，你自己也要去向专业人士咨询建议。如果存在心理健康问题，促进心理发展的所有努力甚至都无从入手。”

Rates of depression, anxiety and other mental-health issues are higher in the teens and 20s than in any other decade except the 80s. Some experts blame the roller coaster of change and uncertainty during the youthful years. 'Most emerging adults find it very exciting to be in this time of life, but some find it overwhelming. They wonder, 'How do I find out who I am, or what I want to do?' Or they want to be a doctor or own a business and they find the doors closed to them,' says Dr. Arnett.

除了80多岁年龄段以外，十几岁和二十几岁的人出现抑郁、焦虑和其它心理健康问题的比率比其它任何年龄段的人都高。一些专家认为青年时期过山车式的情绪突变与不确定性造成了这种局面。阿内特说，“大多数始成年期的年轻人发现人生的这一阶段很有刺激性，但是有些人觉得这段时期难以应对。他们想，‘我如何才能看清我是谁，或者我想做什么？’又或者他们想当一名医生或创业经商，却发现所有的门都是紧闭的。”
