Extract

The period of adolescence includes within its span the shorter phase of puberty, and may extend from prepuberty as early as ten years (1) to adult maturity attained perhaps in the early twenties. A study of psychosis in adolescence must therefore take cognizance both of the psychoses of later childhood and of early adult life.
