Objectives: To see whether classic DSM-III-R criteria for mania are applicable to Indian youngsters and to examine the clinical presentation of mania in an Indian child and adolescent psychiatric sample. Method: Fifty subjects with a diagnosis of functional psychosis as per the definition in ICD-9 were recruited from the population referred during the study period of approximately one year (n = 840) to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) clinic of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, South India. The subjects were systematically evaluated using a standardized clinical interview and demographic questionnaire and were classified according to DSM-III-R. The subjects who satisfied DSM-III-R criteria for mania formed the sample for this study. Results: Twenty-one subjects received a diagnosis of mania according to DSM-III-R. The most common symptoms of mania included pressure of speech, irritability, elation, distractibility, increased self-esteem, expansive mood, flight of ideas, and grandiose delusions. No subject had comorbid attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Additionally, 13 (61%) of the 21 manic subjects had delusions and/or hallucinations. The other common symptoms included psychomotor agitation, reduced sleep, anger, temper tantrums, decreased concentration, disobedience, aggression, and hyperactivity. Conclusions: Mania was diagnosable in Indian children and adolescents using classic DSM-III-R criteria. The clinical profile appears to be generally similar to that seen in adults. ADHD is not a comorbid condition. The presence of aggressive or disruptive behaviours and hyperactivity in childhood- and adolescent-onset mania, however, could lead to a misdiagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder/conduct disorder (ADHD/CD). Similarly, the presence of psychotic features could lead to a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the relation between early exposure to stressful event and a level of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children, based on outcomes from a natural experiment. It was hypothesized that children pre- and postnatally exposed to cyclone Aila have a higher level of ADHD symptoms compared to the controls, and the effect depends on timing of exposure. Indian children (8-11y) prenatally (N=336) and early postnatally (N=216) exposed to Aila were compared to non-exposed control group of their peers (N=285). ADHD symptoms were assessed using the Conner’s Teacher Rating Scale Revised. The main effect of exposure to the cyclone on total ADHD symptoms’ score, ADHD index, Hyperactivity and Oppositional symptoms was significant and independent of covariates. Both prenatally and postnatally exposed girls, and only postnatally exposed boys, showed significantly higher level of Oppositional symptoms compared to the controls. Cognitive problems/Inattention symptoms were increased in both prenatally and postnatally exposed boys, but not girls, compared to non-exposed children. The timing of programming the later behavior characteristics by stressful experiences due to natural disaster is not limited to fetal life but extends at least into infancy. Sex is a significant modulator of the early stress-ADHD symptoms association.
