“…Schneidtinger & Haslinger‐Baumann (2019) reported findings from nine interviews with young people experiencing personal recovery who described ambivalent feelings towards inpatient care. Ward structure and rules could either be perceived as a relief or as constraining; similarly, peers could be seen as an important source for community and support or as having a bad influence (Schneidtinger & Haslinger‐Baumann 2019). The constant presence and availability of staff provided a sense of security, but witnessing psychiatric emergencies involving peers was extremely stressful.…”

“…It has been suggested that young people's recovery differs from adult recovery in some aspects and that conceptualizations of young people's recovery need to acknowledge that young people are in a period of development (Kelly & Coughlan 2019;Law et al 2020;Naughton et al 2020;Rayner et al 2018). Also, parents are believed to have a substantial impact on young people's recovery (Naughton et al 2020;Schneidtinger & Haslinger-Baumann 2019).

Child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care has the potential to support or hinder young people’s mental‐health recovery. Research describing inpatient care from the perspective of young people is rare. Personal blogs provide an opportunity to further understand how inpatient care relates to young people’s recovery processes. This study aimed to explore young people’s experiences of CAP inpatient care supporting mental‐health recovery. The study is reported in accordance with the COREQ guidelines. Data were created during 2018 from twenty‐seven personal blogs describing first‐hand experiences of being a patient in a CAP inpatient care facility in Sweden and analysed using a method for interpretive description. Information in blogs suggests they were written by women, a majority of which had experienced eating disorders. Findings describe young people’s experiences of CAP inpatient care supporting mental‐health recovery in an interpretive explanation with one theme, ‘Don’t abandon me’, and three sub‐themes: ‘Listen to me’, ‘Believe in me’, and ‘Allow me to feel safe’. This study adds to the growing body of empirical work suggesting the importance of the concept of recovery in young people’s mental health. To support recovery, CAP inpatient care needs to focus on developing the content of care rather than minimizing the length of the stay. User experience should be at the heart of efforts aimed at improving services.

We provide here the first bottom‐up review of the lived experience of mental disorders in adolescents co‐designed, co‐conducted and co‐written by experts by experience and academics. We screened first‐person accounts within and outside the medical field, and discussed them in collaborative workshops involving numerous experts by experience – representing different genders, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and continents – and their family members and carers. Subsequently, the material was enriched by phenomenologically informed perspectives and shared with all collaborators. The inner subjective experience of adolescents is described for mood disorders, psychotic disorders, attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, externalizing disorders, and self‐harm behaviors. The recollection of individuals’ past histories also indexes the prodromal (often transdiagnostic) features predating the psychiatric diagnosis. The experience of adolescents with mental disorders in the wider society is described with respect to their family, their school and peers, and the social and cultural context. Furthermore, their lived experience of mental health care is described with respect to receiving a diagnosis of mental disorder, accessing mental health support, receiving psychopharmacological treatment, receiving psychotherapy, experiencing peer support and mental health activism, and achieving recovery. These findings can impact clinical practice, research, and the whole society. We hope that this co‐designed, co‐conducted and co‐written journey can help us maintain our commitment to protecting adolescents’ fragile mental health, and can help them develop into a healthy, fulfilling and contributing adult life.

Background: Recovery from mental illness and mental health problems is relatively well-researched among adults, but evidence that focuses on the recovery experiences of young people and what characterizes it is scarce. With this in mind, this article aims to map out the existing research in order to identify prevailing knowledge about the recovery of young people between the ages of 12 and 25. Method: Drawing on scoping review methodology, this article is based on an analysis of 33 articles conducted in the USA, Australia, and Europe. Results: Our findings reveal that young people express both similar and divergent lines of reasoning about recovery compared with adults. Our findings also indicate that young people often fluctuate in the way they view recovery, and that they thus tend to be ambivalent about what recovery means. Parents usually highlight the importance of professionals facilitating recovery, while care staff problematize the organizational frameworks available as aggravating circumstances for implementing personal recovery. Young people, parents, and care staff consistently describe recovery as a way to, despite lingering problems, enable a satisfying life. Conclusions: Through this review, we outline the need for a more distinct focus on agency and participation in young people's recovery processes, at the same time as family involvement needs to be further investigated and operationalized. Key Practitioner Message• Recovery theory is a prevalent model of mental health. Though recovery itself remains a core component in mental health literature, it is seldom found in child and adolescent psychiatry. • Agency and participation are suggested as important factors to attend to for practitioners working with young people's mental health. • The family's involvement in the recovery process seems to be unclear, meaning that more attention is needed as to how families become significant and what is considered to contribute to recovery within the immediate network. • To make the recovery process more concrete, further research on young people's recovery is needed and especially their subjective experiences of it.
