Abstract

This study aims to identify heterogeneous trajectories of probable psychiatric conditions and their predictors. 574 serious juvenile offenders were assessed for seven years. Growth mixture modeling revealed three trajectories for both probable anxiety and probable depression: resilience, chronicity, and recovery, which can be predicted by personal, relationship, and contextual factors.
