*PTSD challenges to diagnosing in youth
-what is traumatic for you?
-how do symptoms present at different dev. levels?
-young children may confuse appearance and reality
-event may not seem catastrophic but still have significant later repercussion such as sexual touching.
*PTSD features in children

-school aged may also show signs of ADHD.
*PTSD adolescent

Repeated sexual or physical abuse likely to elicit numbing, dissociation, rage.
*PTSD COMPLEX TRAUMA
Term proposed for use with children due to complicated and numerous differences from adults. Children not only suffer from trauma but also the post traumatic environmental adaption.
*PTSD PROXIMITY
The degree related to how close the child was to the traumatic event. However, children may develop symptoms from witnessing neighborhood violence.
*PTSD PARENT RESPONSE
Either positive or negative. Parent who is overwhelmed or distressed may be less sensitive to child needs.

Other risk factors: tv coverage, previous exposure to trauma, negative emotionality, poverty

Protective factors: low family stress, education, mental health

Youngsters exposed to Buffalo Creek Dam collapse met PTSD criteria 17 years later.
*PTSD PREVALENCE
-Prevalence for children difficult to obtain
-adult prevalence is 8%
-6% IN MASSACHUSETTS ADOLESCENT SAMPLE
-With sexually abused children up to 44%
-Boys may not be recognized as clearly as girls because instrument emphasize internalizing symptoms.

-a number of biological factors
-cortisol
-sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous pathways
-highly stressful events may change body and brain chemistry

withdrawn/unresponsive and overprotective results in worsening of symptoms, fearful pattern result in increased avoidance.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, anxiety management training, imaginal and in vivo exposure.
*PTSD Interventions for complex trauma
They should include safety/ self regulation/ self-reflection/development of coping skills/ interpersonal relationships/ positive effect
*REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER RAD
prevalence
considered rare with only 10% of severely neglected children.
*RAD characterized by:
pattern of markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate attachment behaviors
*RAD essential feature
absence or grossly underdeveloped attachment between child and caregiving adults.
*RAD before age 5 is be because of neglect and deprivation.

Diagnosis should be cautious after 5 years old.
Does not meet criteria for autistic spectrum disorder.
RAD DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA is a consistent pattern of emotionally withdrawn behavior toward adult caregivers.
MUST HAVE 2 OF THE FOLLOWING:
minimal social and emotional responsiveness to others
limited positive affect
episodes of unexplained irritability or sadness
*DMDD disruptive mood dysregulation disorder
MAIN FEATURE: temper or anger outbursts with underlying persistent irritability disproportionate to the situation and unrelenting over a 12 month period. (these are kids they say are bipolar)

children over 6 years.
*DMDD Intent is to distinguish from bipolar disorder
-research does not indicate that children who are diagnosed with bipolar go on to develop bipolar in adulthood. The brain changes from child to adult, so meds will change, too, or they won't need them.
*DMDD
-children will not have bipolar disorder label as an adult. It hasn't been helpful to have this label, too many kids on medication.
-In effect, bipolar may only be 1% of children; not very common.
-Change in approach largely due to concern with medication prescribed and potential effect upon the brain, since the brain changes with transition into adulthood.
*DMDD symptoms:
-severe, chronic temper outbursts, verbala aggression, or emotional storms that are out of proportion to situation.

-outbursts occur an average of 3xs per week.

-they occur for 12>months
-irritability does not remit when stressors are gone.
-observed in at least 2/3 settings and severe in at least one.
-diagnosis cannot be made before 6 or after 18 (look at the child's developmental level, not chronological)
*DMDD symptoms:
-historical assessment finds that symptoms were present before 10.
-do not occur as a result of major depressive disorder or other disorder (anxiety, ptsd, etc.)
*DMDD severe disorder:
-50% will continue to have chronic irritability one year later.
-causes disruption in family, difficulties in school, problems with relationships with peers.
-may be dangerous behaviors like aggression, suicide attempts.
-self harm is common as is hospitalization
-ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) is most commonly combined with DMDD
-behavior should be inconsistent with child's age and developmental level.
-cannot be better explained by autism spectrum disorder.
*WHY IS DMDD LIKELY TO REPLACE THE DIAGNOSIS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER (EXCEPT IN A FEW CASES WHERE TWO POLES CAN TRULY BE OBSERVED)?
The distinguishing of DMDD in children and the removal of Childhood Bipolar Disorder from the DSM comes after much observation. It is typical to see these outbursts in children as they are externalizing behaviors but, the other 'pole' of depression was rarely observed.
*PROACTIVE AGGRESSION
-premeditated aggression
-'cold-blooded' with low or little emotion
-reward driven
-Bandura's Social Learning Model (suggests likely they've seen it somewhere)
*REACTIVE AGGRESSION
-'hot blooded' with high emotional involvement
-activated by the autonomic nervous system
-increased by frustration or lacy of self control
-early patterns of self dis-regulation
-likely to be tied to temperament
*ODD oppositional defiant disorder:
persistent, hostile, defiant, disobedient, and negative pattern of behaviors directed towards authority figures and include at least 4 of the following symptoms:
1. loss of temper
2. argumentative w/adults, confrontational
3. defiant; refuses to comply with requests
4. deliberately annoying
5. blames others for mistakes or problems
*ODD symptoms con't…
6. touchy or easily irritated
7. angry and resentful
8. spiteful and vindictive
-Dx must come before age 18
-2% to 16% more common in males
-lasts longer than 6 months.
*CD conduct disorder:
repetitive and persistent behavioral pattern which involves the violation of social norms or violation of the rights of others and include at least 3 of the following:
1. bullies; threatens
2. initiates fights
3. use of weapons to cause harm
4. cruelty to others and animals
5. theft while confronting

*CD behaviors con't…
7. fire setting with intent to harm
8. property destruction
9. break-in
10. cons others
11. theft
12. out all night
13. run away
14. frequent truancy
-1%-10%, much more common in males
-symptoms must be present for 12 months
-shows little remorse or empathy.
*THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ODD AND CD IS:
ODD is associated with overt and nondestructive behaviors, while CD is linked to overt and covert behaviors which can be destructive and violate the rights of others.
CD is more impacting than ODD.
ODD has earlier onset than CD.
Aggressive behavior = ODD and delinquent behaviors = CD.
*ADHD (3-9% of the population)
Ratio of males to females: 2:1 to 9:1
30% drop out of school
Co-morbidity is high: 30% depression, 25%-75% meet criteria for ODD or CD

3 Specifiers are:
Inattentive type
hyperactivity impulsive type
combined type
Type 1 Inattentive
1. problems sustaining attention, distracted, disorganized, forgetful, poor focus
2. Diagnosed less than the other two
3. Research suggests FEMALES PRIMARILY HAVE THIS TYPE.

Bipolar 1
- MDD and manic (1 wk. abnormal elevated mood)

Bipolar 2
-MDD and hypomanic (less severe)

SOS program is for prevention, empirically shown to be effective.

associated with low levels of serotonin in both depression and suicide.
-ACKNOWLEDGE the signs of suicide and take them seriously

-Let the person know you CARE about them and that you want to tell
