[Young adults in the path of chronicity.].
For the first time, a generation of people (young adults of 18-35) with serious psychiatric problems can no longer use asylums as a refuge from the stress of daily life. These people have to rely on their own experience with the help of a caring team, intermediary structures and medication to face the vicissitudes of life. But because they are very vulnerable to stress and suffer from psychosis or personality disorders, this is not easily done. They represent 10 % of all psychiatric patients and monopolize 40 % of the therapist's time and therefore become a serious challenge to the caring team. Considering the acuteness of the problem, we thought it would be interesting to know these young people better. Therefore, with the help of a review of literature, we will try to answer these questions : who are these people ? What is their future? What is the underlying dynamics of their behavior? What programs do we offer for their care?
