The International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, distinguishes mental development disorders F80-F89 and behavioral and emotional disorders F90-F98. Diagnoses, usually beginning in childhood and adolescence, are divided into behavioral and emotional disorders. These diagnoses are F90 - hyperkinetic disorders, F91 - behavioral disorders, F92 mixed behavioral and emotional disorders, F93 emotional disorders beginning in childhood, F94 disturbance of social relationships in childhood and adolescence, F95 tic disorders, F98 other behavioral and emotional disorders .Classification of disorders by cause of occurrence: 1) Externalizing disorders. Problems are focused on the environment or other people. These are oppositional, hyperactive, aggressive and antisocial behavior, which can be included in the diagnostic categories as hyperkinetic syndrome and conduct disorder; 2) Internalizing disorders. Characterized by internal experience. As a consequence: anxiety, isolation and depression; 3) Use of psychoactive substances. This is the abuse of alcohol and other addictive substances; 4) Learning and mental disorders. This is a whole series of problems associated with intellectual and school performance; 5) Severe and permanent pathology. For example, schizophrenia and autism. Prevalence and development. The prevalence of mental disorders in children and adolescents is 10-33%. Data from epidemiological studies note that at the age of 4-20 years, diagnosable anxiety disorders are observed in approximately 12% of cases, conduct disorder - in 10% of cases, hyperactivity with impaired attention - in 5% of cases, depression, specific developmental disorders, enuresis and addiction - in more than 6% of cases. Psychotic disorders such as autism are diagnosed in less than 1% of cases. Approximately 10-15% of children receive professional help. Natural development: The assumption that a child will “grow out” of his problems is wrong. Long-term follow-up shows that the effect on serious mental disorders in children is unsatisfactory. Many patients continue to have a psychiatric diagnosis for many years after diagnosis. Observation of conduct disorder indicates a high risk of associative behavior in adulthood. Only less than 1/3 of children do not suffer from any mental disorder upon reaching 4-5 years of age. GAD and OCD persist in 2/3 - 3/4 of cases, and are associated with other disorders and major problems in adaptation. Childhood depression has there is a high probability of cure, but just like in adults, it recurs. The best prognosis is for separation anxiety disorder and childhood phobias, but they can lead to other mental disorders. ===================================================== ==============You can get advice by contacting: By phone. 8-923-146-08-18Skype: Alexey Mossine-mail: [email protected]
