title: Clinical recovery in cognitive functioning and self-image among adolescents with major depressive disorder and conduct disorder during psychiatric inpatient care.
abstract: This prospective study examined psychosocial and cognitive functioning among adolescents with major depressive disorder and conduct disorder under comprehensive psychiatric inpatient care. Nonverbal and general cognitive performance, self-image, and overall psychosocial functioning improved in both groups. Nevertheless, more changes in self-image and family functioning were found among patients with major depressive disorder. Mental health services should still have the capability of offering long-term residential care for adolescents with the most severe mental disturbance.
