10/17 Neurodevpt Disorders - Petti Flashcards

1
Q

differences in assessing child/adolescent (as compared to assessing adult)

A
  • neurodevpt changes
    • cognitive
    • emotional
  • relative importance of the environment
  • need to consider motivation for seeking help (often due to parent/teacher request)
  • need to differentiate normally expected behaviors from psychopathology
    • ex. we expect to see oppositional/defiant behavior in the “terrible twos” and adolescence → separation/individuation phases in which this is normal
  • need for indirect methods of assessment in young children

  • more normal appearance
  • increased ability to adapt

psych sx more common in this pop than in general pop

24
Q

conceptual domain

A

preschool: no obvious diffs

school-age: difficulties learning academic skills (support needed in 1+ areas)

adults: imparied abstract thinking, executive fx, short term memory, fx use of academic skills

more concrete approach to prob solving

25
Q

mild intellectual disability vs genpop

social domain

A

immature social interactions

  • difficulty accurately perceiving social cues

support typically needed to make health care and legal decisions, to learn to perform a skilled vocation, to raise a family

27

mild: 50-55 → 70

  • usually fine academically to 6th grade level
  • conform socially by late teens
  • can be self-supporting in adulthood with ltd guidance needed (unusual social/economic stressors)

moderate: 35-40 → 50-55

  • ceiling is 2nd grade level
  • may learn to travel alone in familiar places

severe: 20-25 → 35-40

  • relatively non-fx
28

approx 50% organic

approx 50% unknown

  • most have mild ID, prob with genetic basis yet to be discovered

more than 750 known genetic causes! many have known behavioral pattersn

29
Q

Prader Willi syndrome

vs

Angelmann’s Syndrome

A

absence of active paternal gene (15q11.13)

  • mild-mod intellectual disability
  • hyperphagia → obese

absence of active maternal gene (15q11.13)

  • mod-severe intellectual disability with motor delays
30

Fragile X syndrome

A

2nd most common intellectual disability due to chromosomal abnormality

  • devpt delays, mild-mod ID
  • connective tissue dysplasia
  • gaze aversion
  • macroorchidism
  • appear to have large ears
31
Q

ddx for intellectual disability

A
  • major and minor neurocog disorders
  • communication disorders
  • specific language/learning disorders
  • ASD
32
Q

intellectual disability

course/independence

A

course depends on multiple factors

mild: 1/4 may function adequately in society

mod: may live semi-indep with partial support

severe/profound: high levels of support/supervision required

33
Q

what are the communication disorders (5)

A
  • language disorder
  • speed-sound disorder
  • childhood-onset fluency disorder (stuttering)
  • social (pragmatic) communication disorder
  • unspecified communication disorder

all begin during early devptal period

34
Q

language disorder

A

persistent problem using written and spoken language lagging behind expectations for given age

  • compared to peers…
    • reduced vocab
    • probs putting sents together
    • unable to use lang to express ideas adequately
    • abilities quantitatively below expected
  • often chronic disability in school/work, social situations

ddx: ASD, sensory impairment, intellectual disability, learning disorder (lots of overlap)

35
Q

social (pragmatic) communication disorder

A

persistent difficulties in social use of language

  • umable to use comm for social purposes in a manner to approp fit social context
  • unable to change comm to match context/needs of listener
  • diff following rules for conversation or story telling
  • diff understanding what is not explicitly stated

difficulties limit effective comm, social participation, social relationships, academic/occupational achievement

onset is in early devptal period (4-5 yr) but may not be noted until later when demands exceed ability for social comm!

  • NOT secondary to poor grammar, ASD, ID, or other medical etiology

recall: pragmatic language video

36
Q

specific learning disorder

A

impairment in reading & understanding meaning of what’s read

impairment of written expression (spelling, content)

impairment of mathematics (number sense, number facts, calculation, math reasoning)

standardized tests demonstrate fx markedly below those expected for age

  • impairment noted in school records allows diagnosis for over 17yrs old

learning difficulties may not become fully manifest until later grades when demands exceed ability

difficulties are not better explained by ID, sensory deficits, lack of proficiency in lang, inadequate ed instruction

37
Q

learning disorder: course

A
  • poor outcome without recognition and intervention
  • high risk for other psych disorders
  • persist through lifetime
  • needs of child/teen/adult change with developmental stage
38
Q

ADHD as a diagnosis

A

mulitple medical diseases and psych disorders present with ADHD sx

ADHD is a complex genetic disorder resulting from combined effects of several genes and interactions with environment

persistent pattern of INATTENTION (6 or more sx for 6 or more months) and/or HYPERACTIVITY/IMPULSIVENESS (6 or more sx for 6 or more months)

  • sx more severe than normally seen for comparable devpt level
  • 5 sx in either or both for 17+

sx negatively impact social and academic/occupational activity

39
Q

ADHD and basal ganglia development

A

ADHD characterized by

  • progressive, atypical contraction of ventral striatal surfaces (localized in reward-processing regions)
  • non0progressive, fixed contraction of dorsal striatal surfaces (localized in executive fx and motor planning support regions)
40
Q

“outgrowing” ADHD

A

people who carry the 7-repeat allele of DRD4 show differences in regional cortical thinning over time → “outgrow” their ADHD

41
Q

medical disorders presenting with ADHD sx

A

sleep apnea (risk factors: obesity and/or snoring)

endocrine (esp thyroid)

  • hyperthyroid
  • resistance to thyroid hormone + ADHD sx

  • tumors and unusual syndromes
42
Q

ADHD course

  • increased use of substances of abuse
  • 4x STDs
  • 3x unemployed
  • 2x divorced or arrested
  • incr risk for motor vehicle accidencts when unmedicated

dx: first made between 6-18

  • onset before age 10 (history or obs)
  • no period of more than 1 day meeting full criteria for mania/hypomania
  • not occuring exclusively during MDD episode
44
Q

depression disorders

**sign of depression in children/teens

A
  1. disruptive mood dysregulation disorder
  2. major depressive disorder
  3. persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)

for children/teens,

irritability = depression

45
Q

persistent depressive disorder

A

dysthymia

depression (or irritability in children) + 2 sx: CHASES

  • concentration loss
  • hopelessness
  • appetite (wt change)
  • sleep affected
  • energy loss/fatigue

never sx-free for more than 2mo at a time

46
Q

separation anxiety disorder

what is it

etiology

duration

criteria

A

inapprop or excessive anxiety around separation from parenting figures
