Insulin Dependent

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic, serious disease in children and adolescents. Its diagnosis is straightforward and rarely subtle. The major challenges of this disease for the child, family, and health-care team involve long-term management of medical and metabolic factors as well as psychological and behavioral concerns. While developments in the past 10 to 15 years have made metabolic control technically possible, psychological stresses and behavioral problems often interfere with metabolic goals. There are few, if any, other diseases that require such intensive and extensive self-care skills. Definitions Diabetes generally is classified in two types. Type I, or IDDM, is seen mostly in younger people (children and adolescents). It previously was called juvenile onset or ketosisprone. Insulin deficiency characterizes IDDM, and patients need exogenous insulin for survival. Type II, or non-IDDM (NIDDM), previously called adult or maturity onset, is the type seen most commonly in older people and in obesity and is not discussed in this review. To make a diagnosis of diabetes, a child must have either classic symptoms with a random plasma glucose above 200 mg/dL or specific plasma glucose levels before and after a standard glucose load if asymptomatic. The diagnosis of IDDM usually is clear-cut.

Emotionally Disturbed Children

Increasingly, seriously handicapped students are returning to the schools and the use of psychotropic medications is on the rise with these and other emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. In an effort to improve the dialogue and cooperation within the physician/educator terms an overview of the history, philosophy, current practices and a look at the future of neurochemical treatments of children with emotional and behavioral problems, is presented. A separate review of available literature concerning medication effects on cognitive functioning and test results is presented. Psycho-pharmacology is and can be a useful treatment; however, the available supporting literature that has already been developed with adults is still largely missing with children and adolescents. Guidelines for the treatment team members to help assure proper prescribing and monitoring of medications to achieve maximum therapeutic effect with minimal side-effects are reviewed.

Free Environment

1. Tobacco is a major health hazard to children and adolescents. 2. Maternal use of tobacco has significant adverse effects on pregnancy and fetal outcome. 3. Exposure to ETS has major effects on the health and psychosocial well-being of children. 4. Tobacco use by children is associated with chronic and recurrent medical problems as well as with increased risk for significant morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, tobacco use may be a marker for youth at risk for other behavioral problems. 5. Nicotine is an addicting substance and may serve as a gateway drug for the subsequent use of illicit substances. 6. Tobacco advertising is appealing to young people and may have a powerful effect in influencing them to begin tobacco experimentation. 7. A tobacco-free environment is an imperative for the health of children and adolescents.

Adverse Experiences

The most current research on trauma and child development demonstrates that there are significant risk factors for school success. At the same time, resilience and protective factors help other children overcome these obstacles. Chapter 2 explores the effects of trauma on children and adolescents. Data from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, as well as other academic and epidemiological studies, are used to address the negative impact of traumatic experiences on child development. The neurobiology of trauma is explored along with other bio-psycho-social-spiritual effects of abuse, neglect, and other adverse experiences affecting children in the United States. Internalizing and externalizing disorders present in children who experience abuse are also addressed.
