Evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions for young people with mood disorders: a systematic review

INTRODUCTION: Mood disorders are amongst the most common groups of mental disorders in young people (YP). Depression may affect 8-20% of all YP and may result in a cascade of negative developmental outcomes predicting long-term morbidity and poor functioning. In view of this, the COST action ‘European Network of Individualized Psychotherapy Treatment of Young People with Mental Disorders’ (TREATme) was set up to help improve mental health services in YP.OBJECTIVES: One of the overarching aims of TREATme is to carry out a systematic review to assess for the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions in YP. In this study, we present results from the systematic review of treatment effectiveness of youth interventions for mood disorders.[excerpt]peer-reviewe

Evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions for young people with mental disorders : a systematic review

INTRODUCTION: Young People (YP) with mental disorders have the highest rates of long-term morbidity and mortality. Mental disorders increase markably in young adulthood: 75% of mental disorders emerge before the age of 25 years but less than half of YP receive appropriate treatment. Recognizing this public health concern, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) funded the “European Network of Individualized Psychotherapy Treatment of Young People with Mental Disorders” (TREATme).OBJECTIVES: To conduct systematic literature reviews elucidating the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions for YP diagnosed with mental disorders.[excerpt]peer-reviewe

Evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions for young people with substance use disorder : a systematic literature review.

INTRODUCTION: Substance use disorders (SUD) are a global problem with many health and economic consequences, impacting the user, the mental health system and society at large. Over half of SUD problems begin during adolescence. Treatment approaches and effective management frequently involve psychotherapeutic interventions, which prevents long term morbidity and mortality. Recognizing this public health concern and the need for more empirical based knowledge, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) funded the ‘European Network of Individualized Psychotherapy Treatment of Young People with Mental Disorders’ (TREATme).OBJECTIVES: As part of the aims of TREATme, in this particular study a systematic review of the published literature was conducted to determine the effectiveness of specific psychotherapeutic interventions (PI) in young people (YP) with SUDs.[excerpt]peer-reviewe
