Mental illness among youth with chronic physical conditions.
Using MEPS data, the authors compared the risk of incident mental health conditions (MHCs) in youth with and without chronic physical conditions (CPCs), and explored whether activity limitations might contribute to any association. They found that youth with CPCs have increased risk for MHCs and that limitations on activity may play a role in MHC development. They recommended that youth with CPCs may benefit from services that bolster their ability to participate in developmentally important activities and that may help to detect and treat new onset MHCs.
