Psychiatric and developmental disorders with onset in early childhood are often missed and commonly overlooked by adult psychiatrists. These disorders have important continuities into adulthood and are powerful predictors of chronicity, comorbidity, and severity. It is essential that they are recognized and taken into account in the assessment and treatment of the adult patient.
儿童期起病的精神和发育障碍常常被成人精神科医生漏诊且普遍被忽视。这些障碍在成年期有重要的延续性，并且是慢性病程、共病和严重程度的有力预测因素。在成年患者的评估和治疗中识别并考虑这些障碍至关重要。
