Kazdin's (2024) article details the urgent need for adjuvant treatment approaches focused on how individuals live in daily life. This is an essential pathway to reduce suffering given the global prevalence of psychological distress. We strongly agree and add that a targeted focus on the period of emerging adulthood is of vital importance. Evidence is consistent and compelling that need is high in this stressful developmental period, with the first onset of most psychiatric disorders and limited access to traditional mental health services. Moreover, evidence suggests that this is a life stage where "habits" relating to key lifestyle factors, including physical activity, nutrition, and social activities, have not yet coalesced, hence the opportunity for change may be greatest. These are habits that, as Kazdin (2024) writes, are robustly predictive of lifelong physical and mental health. To leverage this behavioral plasticity, we recommend enlisting the aid of smartphone technology that many emerging adults already use in their everyday lives. This will facilitate earlier intervention, potentially translating into decades of reduced suffering for many individuals. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

在成年初期，需求和资源之间的差距是紧迫的——这是一个机会：卡兹丁评论（2024）。


Kazdin (2024) 的文章详细介绍了对关注个人日常生活方式的辅助治疗方法的迫切需要。鉴于全球普遍存在心理困扰，这是减少痛苦的重要途径。我们强烈同意并补充说，有针对性地关注成年初期至关重要。一致且令人信服的证据表明，在这个充满压力的发展时期，大多数精神疾病都是首次发病，并且获得传统精神卫生服务的机会有限，因此需求很高。此外，有证据表明，在这个生命阶段，与关键生活方式因素（包括体力活动、营养和社交活动）相关的“习惯”尚未融合，因此改变的机会可能最大。正如 Kazdin（2024）所写，这些习惯可以有力地预测终生的身心健康。为了利用这种行为可塑性，我们建议寻求许多新兴成年人在日常生活中已经使用的智能手机技术的帮助。这将有利于早期干预，有可能减少许多人数十年的痛苦。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
