The document outlines the steps for clinically diagnosing ADHD. First, it involves checking for prenatal risk factors and family history of ADHD. Next, it examines evidence of childhood onset of hyperactive, impulsive, and inattentive symptoms. Then, it looks at the persistence of symptoms into adolescence and adulthood resulting in impairments across multiple domains like education and relationships. Finally, it rules out underlying medical conditions as potential causes of symptoms.

Therapeutic approach to referential thinking in a case of schizotypal disorder
The present study describes the evaluation procedure and therapeutic approach in a case of schizotypal disorder. The intervention carried out was of the cognitive behavioural type. In parallel, a follow-up of a fundamental measure for this disorder is accomplished: the referential thinking, by means of brief time-series. In this analysis, a clear but progressive decrease of the criteria is obtained. The post-treatment results show a general improvement in every aspects, bringing out: the interpersonal relationships, the absence of hallucinations, the increase of the capacity for enjoyment, the decrease of unusual content of thought, erroneous interpretations of reality, aggressiveness and unusual language. Distractibility, suspicion and conceptual disorganization slightly persist.
DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER
Dissociative disorders (DD) are conditions that involve disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity, or perception.
People with dissociative disorders use dissociation, a defence mechanism, pathologically and involuntarily. Dissociative disorders are thought to primarily be caused by psychological trauma.

Neurodevelopmental disorders affect the growth and development of the nervous system and brain function. They impact skills like movement, learning, self-control, and memory from a young age. Some common neurodevelopmental disorders include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy, cerebral palsy, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Risk factors include genetic and environmental factors like prenatal exposure to toxins, low birth weight, trauma, and infections. Treatment involves therapies, medications, and specialists to manage symptoms and support development. Raising awareness and providing accommodations and social support can help address neurodevelopmental disorders in individuals and communities.
DSM-5: Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Gender Dysphoria
The document provides an overview of neurodevelopmental disorders as defined in the DSM-5. It discusses several categories of neurodevelopmental disorders including intellectual disabilities, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, specific learning disorder, and motor disorders. For each category, it outlines the defining characteristics, changes from previous DSM editions, and examples of disorders within the category. It also discusses assessment tools, treatment approaches, and other topics relevant to neurodevelopmental disorders.

1) The study compares core beliefs between patients with social phobia, other anxiety disorders, and non-psychiatric controls by having them complete a schema questionnaire.
2) Results found that patients with social phobia showed higher levels of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) related to disconnection/rejection compared to those with other anxiety disorders.
3) Regression analysis identified the EMS of mistrust/abuse, social undesirability/defectiveness, entitlement, emotional deprivation, unrelenting standards and shame as explaining most of the variance in anxiety felt in social situations and fear of negative evaluation in the study subjects.

This document summarizes a research paper that used the circumplex model of affect to study how individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing individuals rate facial expressions along dimensions of valence and arousal. The study found that individuals with ASD gave more constricted ratings across the entire circumplex model, suggesting a reduced range of responses to all emotions compared to typically developing individuals. This indicates individuals with ASD may have difficulties processing emotions represented in facial expressions.

When everything seems unreal: Psychosis at school
This document discusses psychosis and psychotic disorders in youth. It begins with an overview of psychosis, defining it as a serious disturbance in reality testing that affects thinking, perception and behavior. It then reviews the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in adolescence compared to childhood, noting increases in conditions like depression, bipolar disorder and psychosis during the teen years. The rest of the document outlines various psychotic symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive and mood changes. It also discusses the importance of early identification and treatment of psychosis in youth given the disabilities and poor long-term outcomes if untreated.
Mood Dsrdr
1) Mood disorders such as depressive disorders and bipolar disorder can present in children and adolescents with symptoms like sadness, irritability, changes in appetite or sleep, and decreased interest in activities.
2) Screening tools can help identify mood disorders, and children exhibiting concerning behaviors should be evaluated further. Those with mood disorders are also at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
3) Initial interventions focus on supporting the child's self-esteem, as well as their family, school, and social relationships, through therapies, treatment referrals, and coordination of care for any co-occurring conditions.
Adhd
ADHD is a developmental disorder affecting 3-6% of children that impacts executive function in the brain. It causes problems with attention span, impulse control, and activity level. The main symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While a real disorder, ADHD is often underestimated and management includes medication, therapy, classroom support, and nutrition.
Diagnosing high functioning autism or Asperger syndrome
1. The document discusses diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adults, including background information, diagnostic processes, and support post-diagnosis.
2. It provides an overview of issues adults with ASD often face, such as undiagnosed conditions leading to misunderstanding, and benefits of diagnosis including understanding themselves and finding community.
3. The presentation aims to help psychologists improve their skills and confidence in diagnosing adults with ASD, including high functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome, using comprehensive assessment methods.
What Teachers Need to Know About ADHD Medications
This document provides information about ADHD medications for teachers, including:
- Stimulant and non-stimulant medications are the main treatment options for ADHD.
- Medications can help improve attention span, reduce hyperactivity, and improve impulse control.
- Potential adverse effects include reduced appetite, insomnia, stomach aches, and irritability."
Adult Adhdv Criteria Comorbidities Considerations
The document discusses criteria, comorbidities, and caveats related to diagnosing ADHD in adults. It notes that the DSM-IV-TR criteria were developed for children and may not be fully suitable for adults. Proposed new DSM-V criteria aim to address this by modifying symptoms and impairment criteria. Comorbid conditions like anxiety and mood disorders are very common in adults with ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation is needed to establish impairment, rule out other factors, and consider the individual's functioning across settings to properly diagnose ADHD in adults.

Autistic spectrum disorder
This slide is part of a collection of exam revision slides from Atypical Child Development. The slides have been created by me, and based on several different research papers. The slides were created for essay exam.
Overview of autism
The document provides a history of autism including its original use by Bleuler in 1911 and further definition by Kanner in 1943. It discusses research and definitions by Asperger, Eisenberg, Creak, and Rutter that helped characterize autism. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) included autism for the first time in 1980 and further defined pervasive developmental disorders. The DSM-IV criteria require impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Prevalence of autism has increased since first measured in 1966, estimated now at 1 in 150 children. Boys are 4 times more likely to be affected than girls.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Valid Medical Condition or Cultural...
This article challenges the definition of ADHD as a legitimate medical condition and argues it may instead be a culturally constructed myth. The author provides evidence that ADHD diagnoses have increased dramatically in the US without clear scientific evidence that it is a neurological disorder. No biological tests can confirm ADHD, and rates of diagnosis vary widely between countries. The author suggests economic and cultural factors may better explain the rise in ADHD diagnoses in America than it representing a real neurological condition.
Mood Disorders Ab Syke
This document discusses mood disorders that can present in childhood and adolescence, including depressive disorders like dysthymic disorder and major depressive disorder, as well as bipolar disorder. It describes common symptoms of each disorder at different developmental stages. Depressive disorders are characterized by disturbances in mood, sadness, irritability and loss of interest that interfere with daily life. Bipolar disorder involves manic episodes with elevated mood, agitation and reckless behaviors. The document recommends screening children and adolescents for mood disorders if concerning symptoms are present, and providing family and social support along with mental health treatment.
Topic Presentation: Autism & Asperger's
This document discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Asperger's syndrome. It notes that ASD is characterized by impaired social interaction and communication as well as repetitive behaviors. Asperger's is distinguished by less severe impairment overall and no significant language delay, though language usage is still atypical and social skills lacking. The distinction between Asperger's and autism may be removed in future diagnostic manuals. Causes are unclear but likely involve genetic, brain, and environmental factors interacting.
Autism epidemic grand rounds skmc
The document discusses the rising rates of autism diagnosis and lack of awareness about autism in the UAE. It provides background on the history of autism including the original descriptions by Kanner and Asperger. It outlines changes to the diagnostic criteria in the upcoming DSM-V, and discusses various theories about the causes and risk factors of autism including genetics, vaccines, and the gut-brain connection. Treatments discussed include behavioral therapy, education, and medication management.
Social Anxiety Disorder and Depression
This document analyzes the biological, cognitive, and sociocultural etiologies of social anxiety disorder and depression. For social anxiety disorder, biological factors include an oversensitive amygdala and genetic predispositions, while cognitive factors involve negative core beliefs developed from social experiences. Sociocultural influences include parenting styles and societal emphasis on competition. For depression, biological theories point to genetic and neurotransmitter imbalances, while cognitive theories cite irrational thinking patterns. Sociocultural risk factors include life stressors and varying conceptions of depression across cultures. Both disorders vary in prevalence by gender and culture.
Childhood disorders
The document discusses several childhood disorders categorized into 10 diagnostic subgroups. These include mental retardation, learning disorders, motor skills disorders, communication disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, attention deficit and disruptive behavior disorders, feeding and eating disorders of infancy and early childhood, tic disorders, elimination disorders, and other disorders of infancy, childhood, or adolescence. Specific disorders discussed in more depth include mental retardation, learning disorders, tic disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, separation anxiety disorder, autism, and Asperger's disorder. Causes, characteristics, prevalence, gender differences, treatments and prognoses are described for each.
Adhd1 barkley dic 2011
This document discusses the importance of emotion in ADHD. It provides information on three websites that contain lectures and presentations on ADHD by Dr. Barkley, including over 10 hours of parent presentations and 25+ hours of professional presentations. It then outlines an objectives for Dr. Barkley's lecture on the important role of emotional impulsiveness and deficient emotional self-regulation in ADHD. Key findings from research are summarized that show the impact of poor emotion regulation in ADHD on functioning.
Differences between dsm IV and DSM5 , in child psychiatry
The document summarizes some of the key differences between the DSM-IV and DSM-5 classifications of psychological disorders in children and adolescents. It notes that the DSM-5 takes a dimensional approach rather than categorical, recognizes significant sharing of symptoms between disorders, and reorganizes some disorders into different categories. Specific changes include intellectual disabilities replacing mental retardation, a new neurodevelopmental disorders category, changes to certain disorder names and criteria, and an emphasis on development and lifespan considerations.
