The delayed access to treatment represents one of the biggest challenges to cure young adults with early psychiatric disorders. This delay, too often observed, has several causes. One of them is patients’ unexpressed help seeking, influenced by cultural and historical reasons, from pathology characteristics and by the organization of psychiatric hospitals and services. The goal of this study is to assess how psychiatric disorders that start at an early age can determine serious invalidity and lack of self-sufficiency if not treated timely and properly. Epidemiological data will be used to support this analysis. The network organization of DSM and ASL Rome D allow the activation of services also during the recovery of a youth with acute disorders at the Hospital psychiatric ward, which is frequently the first place where an early pathology is identified.

Keywords: Departmental Network; Mental Disorder Onset; Early Intervention; Epidemiological Data; First Hospitalization; Hospital Psychiatric Ward.
