SynopsisBehaviour disturbance was investigated in mentally handicapped adults who were living in hospital or at home. The first part of the study describes an empirically derived typology of disturbed behaviour patterns and gives the details of a scale by means of which behaviour disturbance can be quantified along six dimensions: aggression, mood disturbance, communicativeness, antisocial conduct, idiosyncratic mannerisms, and self-injury. The second part of the study used the scale in a longitudinal study of behavioural disturbance. Different forms of disturbed behaviour exhibited different kinds of longitudinal stability, and the long-term changes in one aspect of disturbance depended on subjects' other disturbance scores.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic form of cerebral small-vessel disease characterised by recurrent strokes. Behavioural disturbance also presents in a significant proportion of subjects as neurotic spectrum disorders and psychotic features are rarely reported. In this case report, we highlight a 32-year-old man with CADASIL syndrome, who had overt psychotic symptoms with neurological signs later on.

The Uk

Although only 5% of the total over 65 population in developed countries lives in a care home, the lifetime risk of needing residential care is considerable. In the UK, 418 000 older people occupy nearly 12 000 care homes; the sector has a total value of around £14 billion. Care home residents tend to be very old, most are women, and most have complex co-morbid needs. Most people enter a care home because they can no longer live independently due to ill health, notably dementia. Dementia affects over two thirds of all residents; physical disability and functional impairment are also common. Behavioural disturbance is common as is depression. There are concerns about excessive reliance on medication, and more emphasis recently has been placed on improving standards of care. Evidence suggests that training and good leadership is effective. With the ageing population, the provision and the funding of care home places will come under increasing pressure. The solutions to this are yet to be determined.

SUMMARY The phenomenon of acute behavioural disturbance (ABD) (also known as acute behavioural disorder or excited delirium) is an underrecognised and potentially life-threatening syndrome, and an emergency in psychiatric settings. Causes are discussed and the pathophysiology explained. The challenges faced by practitioners are highlighted, including how ‘standard’ control and restraint can exacerbate symptoms. Initial treatment strategies are suggested.
