Background Profound clinical, conceptual and ideological differences between child and adult mental health service models contribute to transition-related discontinuity of care. Many of these may be related to psychiatry training. Methods A systematic review on General Adult Psychiatry (GAP) and Child and Adult Psychiatry (CAP) training in Europe, with a particular focus on transition as a theme in GAP and CAP training. Results Thirty-four full-papers, six abstracts and seven additional full text documents were identified. Important variations between countries were found across several domains including assessment of trainees, clinical and educational supervision, psychotherapy training and continuing medical education. Three models of training were identified: i) a generalist common training programme; ii) totally separate training programmes; iii) mixed types. Only two national training programs (UK and Ireland) were identified to have addressed transition as a topic, both involving CAP exclusively. Conclusion Three models of training in GAP and CAP across Europe are identified, suggesting that the harmonization is not yet realised and a possible barrier to improving transitional care. Training in transition has only recently been considered. It is timely, topical and important to develop evidence-based training approaches on transitional care across Europe into both CAP and GAP training.

“…Third, there is an enormous discrepancy between needs and resource availability [ 47 ]. For Austria, a shortage of inpatient, outpatient and day patient facilities by around 50% of mental health care needed and a shortage of specialists (child and adolescent psychiatrists) have been reported [ 48 ]. In 2012, there was only one child and adolescent psychiatrist available for 30,000 children and adolescents with massive regional variation.…”

This is a nationwide epidemiological study using DSM-5 criteria to assess the prevalence of mental disorders in a large sample of Austrian adolescents between 10 and 18 years including hard-to-reach samples. A sample of 3615 adolescents from four cohorts (school grades 5, 7, 9, 11; age range 10–18 years) was recruited from 261 schools, samples of unemployed adolescents (n = 39) and adolescents from mental health institutions (n = 137) were added. The Youth Self-Report and SCOFF were used to screen for mental health problems. In a second phase, the Childrens’ Diagnostic Interview for Mental Disorders was used to make point and lifetime psychiatric diagnoses. Mental health service use was also assessed. Point prevalence and lifetime prevalence rates for at least one psychiatric disorder were 23.9% and 35.8%. The highest lifetime prevalence rates were found for anxiety disorders (15.6%), neurodevelopmental disorders (9.3%; ADHD 5.2%) and depressive disorders (6.2%). Forty-seven percent of adolescents with a lifetime psychiatric disorder had a second diagnosis. Internalising disorders were more prevalent in girls, while neurodevelopmental disorders and disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorders were more prevalent in boys. Of those with a lifetime psychiatric disorder, 47.5% had contacted mental health services. Of the residual 52.5% who had not contacted mental health services, 18.1% expressed an interest in treatment. DSM-5 mental health disorders are highly prevalent among Austrian adolescents. Over 50% had or were interested in accessing treatment. Early access to effective interventions for these problems is needed to reduce burden due to mental health disorders.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00787-017-0999-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In ganz Niederösterreich fehlt es an 40, und davon im Industrieviertel an 30 der vorgesehen stationären kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Betten. Im Burgenland wird derzeit keine stationäre kinder- und jugendpsychiatrische Behandlung durchgeführt und wird aus diesem Grund durch die KJPP Hinterbrühl und die KJP Graz mitversorgt [ 5 , 6 ]. Dem Gegenüber steht das Wissen, über einen steigenden kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Versorgungsbedarf, der durch die Pandemie nochmals befeuert wurde, und die KJPs im vergangenen Jahr über deren Grenzen hinaus gefordert hat [ 7 ].…”

Ein steigender kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischer Versorgungsbedarf ist in den letzten Jahren deutlich zu beobachten. Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit 20 Kinder- und Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen im Industrieviertel (Niederösterreich) und dem kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Behandlungsbedarfs der 439 dort fremduntergebrachten Kinder und Jugendlichen. Es zeigen sich bei 270 (62 %) der Kinder und Jugendlichen psychiatrische Auffälligkeiten und bei 220 (50,1 %) ein oder mehrere psychiatrische Diagnosen. Davon sind 200 Kinder und Jugendlichen bereits in einer kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Behandlung. Bei elf Einrichtungen besteht ein Behandlungsbedarf von 80–100 % der fremduntergebrachten Kinder und Jugendlichen. Es ergibt sich daraus ein hochbelastetes Helfer:innensystem und eine große Versorgungsnotwendigkeit in den Einrichtungen. Eine intensivere Vernetzung und Zusammenarbeit der involvierten Institutionen bzw. Helfer:innensysteme und einer Weiterentwicklung des Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrischen Angebots wäre wünschenswert, um den steigenden psychiatrischen Behandlungsbedarf bei Kindern und Jugendlichen adäquat begegnen zu können.
