title: The passage to adulthood: psychiatric rehabilitation service and transition-related needs of young adult women with emotional and psychiatric disorders.
abstract: This review addresses the needs and experiences of young adult women, aged 16 to 21, who have a diagnosis of serious emotional disturbance (SED) or mental illness. Given the large numbers of young women with SED, evidence that they are underserved, and the continuity of many disorders from adolescence to adulthood, an integrative review in this area can enhance our ability to better address these young women's needs.
