- Transitioning from single life to forming a new family may lead to self-doubt regarding parenting capabilities, along with potential anxiety or depression, particularly after childbirth.
Expected Growth and Development
- Physical growth generally completes around age 20, with young adults facing various health risks such as substance use disorders, STIs, and unplanned pregnancies.
- Cognitive development enhances critical thinking and memory, peaking in the 20s, while fostering creative thought.
- Values and norms from social groups play a significant role in decision-making and openness to change during this stage.
Health Promotion and Immunizations
- Annual vaccinations recommended by the CDC include influenza, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, with additional vaccines given based on individual risk factors (e.g., hepatitis, HPV).
- Erikson’s theory highlights the challenge of achieving intimacy versus isolation.
- Regular health screenings aligned with age guidelines and career-related risks are essential, with emphasis on selecting a primary care provider.
Physical and Cognitive Development
- Common health risks include substance use, unplanned pregnancies, and nutritional deficiencies, with optimal muscle function occurring between 25-30 years.
