Approximately 20 percent of Americans ages 19 to 25 have a personality disorder, according to a new study that explores mental disorders in young adults, the Associated Press reported. The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, also shows that fewer than 25 percent of young adults with mental problems are diagnosed and treated. These findings suggest that access to treatment and medical centers is limited for young adults with these disorders, which can include obsessive tendencies and anti-social behavior and potentially result in violent behavior, the Press reported. The study also compared the mental health of students and non-students, extensively interviewing more than 5,000 young adults between 2001 and 2002. Research showed that 8 percent were diagnosed with obsessive compulsive personality disorder in both categories, suggesting little difference in the distribution of personality disorders between the two groups.
