SummaryThe present study describes the results of neuropsychiatric consultations in 70 institutionalized mentally retarded patients. On the basis of their major complaint, patients were assigned to eight overlapping categories. Diagnoses of a certain probability were established during multidisciplinary consensus meetings and classification was achieved according to ICD-10 criteria. In ten patients mental retardation was related to a specific syndrome; seizures or somatic comorbidity were present in 40 patients. The most frequent psychiatric diagnoses were: unspecified bipolar affective disorder (n = 14), depressive disorder (n = 6), impulse control disorder (n = 12), cycloid, transient, or schizoaffective psychotic disorder (n = 14), and (atypical) autism (n = 7). Recent history revealed a high occurrence of serious side effects of psychotropics or pharmacokinetic interactions. Appropriate pharmacological intervention resulted in an amelioration of the behavioural condition in about half of the patients. It is emphasized that psychiatric disorders frequently present with an atypical psychopathology and that stress- and anxiety-related disorders are most probably underdiagnosed.

Atypical Autism

Pervasive developmental disorders are a series of illnesses characterized by delays in the development of some basic functions, such as the ability to communicate and socialize, but also through a small number of interests or activities, and according to ICD-10 (1996), in this category can include childhood autism, where deficiencies at these levels are identified, being identified until the age of three years or atypical autism - common in people with mental retardation or with responsive language disorders. A form of alternative therapy focused on these dimensions is horse-therapy therapy, a rapidly expanding approach in recent years, both with the aim of empirical substantiation and implementation of its different application centers to alleviate psychomotor deficiencies and emotional. This study aims to analyze the results obtained from horse-assisted therapy on psychomotor disorders in children with autistic spectrum disorders, epilepsy, ADHD or cerebral palsy. A group of 64 children aged between 2 and 14 years, biological age, participated in the study. 41 children were part of the study group, 23 constituting the control group. A controlled research model with pretest-posttest measurements was used. The effect of horse therapy on adaptive skills was evaluated. The ABAS II Adaptive Behavior Assessment System was used to measure these skills. The results indicate that hypothyroid therapy is effective in increasing the adaptability of children with psychomotor disorders.

Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD)is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder,c haract erized by social withdrawal,communication deficits, and repetitivebehaviors. PDD include autistic disorder, Rett'ssyndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, Asperger' ssyndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder nototherwise specified or atypical autism.1 Update ofepidemiological studies published between 1966 and2006 show reports of estimated prevalence for autismhas varied between 3 .31 and 86 children per 10,000, 2and predominantly occurs in males than females(male:female ratio = 4: 1) .3There is a hypothesis that behavioral problemsin children with pervasive developmental disorderare highly associated with the neurotransmitterimbalances. Therefore, psychotropic medications (eg.atypical antipsychotics, selective serotonin reuptakeinhibitors, and psychostimulants), which work ondopamine and serotonin receptors, are the FDAapprovedmedications for PDD.4 On the other hands,the use of novel, unconventional, and/or off- labeltreatments associated with the n eurotransmitterspathway for children with POD is increasing andmore common.

Objective: recently, much attention has been paid to the problem of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in childhood. Despite the abundance of psychometric approaches to the diagnosis of autism in childhood, questions remain about the validity of their use in everyday practice. In recent years, works began to appear in the United States calling into question the practice of mandatory use of the “gold standard” methods for diagnosing ASD. Russia has many years of experience in multidisciplinary cooperation of medical psychologists and clinicians in child psychiatric practice, which makes it possible to more accurately determine the depth and severity of autistic manifestations, as well as to determine the dynamics of a child’s development, which will make it possible to provide targeted effective assistance. Aim: to develop diagnostic, clinical-psychopathological, psychological approaches to the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders in childhood.Patients and methods: the sample consists of 254 patients aged 4–17 years (average age 7.3 years) with different forms of ASD according to ICD-10 (heading F84). The patients were examined by clinical-psychopathological, clinical-dynamic, clinical-follow-up, psychological methods.Results: the study made it possible to define the profiles of six main forms of ASD from a clinical and psychological standpoint: Asperger’s syndrome (F84.5); childhood autism dysontogenetic (F84.0); childhood psychosis (F84.02); Kanner’s syndrome (F84.01), syndromic atypical autism (F84.11),and atypical childhood psychosis (F84.12).Conclusion: the results obtained are presented in a multidisciplinary aspect, which allows the most accurately diagnose one form or another of autism spectrum disorders and to develop personalized routes of patient management.

Background. Based on prevalence studies and the few incidence studies of pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) the prevalence and incidence of these disorders have been claimed to be increasing.Method. The annual and age-specific prevalence and incidence rates of childhood autism, atypical autism, Asperger's disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) in Denmark during the period 1971–2000 in children younger than 10 years were estimated using data from the Danish Psychiatric Central Register.Results. A total of 2·4 million children younger than 10 years were followed and 2061 cases with the PDDs studied were identified. Generally, the prevalence and incidence rates of the PDDs studied were stable until the early 1990s after which an increase in the occurrence of all disorders was seen, until 2000. The annual incidence rate per 10000 children younger than 10 years was 2·0 for childhood autism, 0·7 for atypical autism, 1·4 for Asperger's disorder, and 3·0 for PDD-NOS in 2000. We calculated a ‘corrected’ prevalence of childhood autism at 11·8, atypical autism at 3·3, Asperger's disorder at 4·7, and PDD-NOS at 14·6 per 10000 children younger than 10 years on 1 January 1 2001.Conclusions. We found that the estimated prevalences of the PDDs studied were probably underestimated. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence and incidence rates during the 1990s may well be explained by changes in the registration procedures and more awareness of the disorders, although a true increase in the incidence cannot be ruled out.

The pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) are characterized by patterns of deviance and delay in social-communicative development in the first years of life, which are associated with restricted patterns of interest or behaviour. The prototypic PDD is childhood autism; other conditions included in the PDD class in ICD-10 include Rett's syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and atypical autism. Except for one additional category in ICD-10 (hyperkinetic stereotyped movement disorder), the disorders included in ICD-10 and DSM-IV are essentially identical. In this chapter each of these conditions will be reviewed in terms of their clinical features, definition, epidemiology, course, and aetiology; final sections of the chapter address aspects of treatment and prevention for the group of disorders as a whole (Box 9.2.3.1).
