Understanding Childhood Disease Pamphlet identifying common childhood disorders such as mood, anziety, ADD/ADHD, and autisim. http://hcpc.uth.tmc.edu/childhooddisorders.htm
Extractions: B ecause of the seemingly carefree nature of their lives, children have been thought not to suffer from mental and emotional disorders. However, studies have indicated that children do, in fact, suffer from disorders typically thought to occur only in adults. Learning and conduct disorders, substance abuse, conditions such as autism and depression, and suicide are common in our young population. When children develop mental or emotional disorders, parents often blame themselves. But childhood disorders are likely caused by a combination of many factors. It is important to recognize the problem and seek treatment as soon as possible. Often these conditions can be treated effectively, allowing our children to grow into happy, productive adults. Recognizing and understanding some of the disorders common in children is the first step. Major depression, manic depressive disorder (also called bipolar disorder) and mania are disorders which cause change in a child's mood. Depression is considered to be the most common mental disorder. It is often mistaken for "the blues" and therefore goes untreated. Depression is caused by a number of factors, from chemical imbalances to environmental influences to genetics. Major depression causes people to feel hopeless, exhausted and useless. More than changes in mood, major depression can cause problems with sleep, appetite, self-esteem, daily activities and physical health.
Extractions: "Almost half of our participants meet criteria for a mood or anxiety disorder and often times this goes overlooked in treatment," Lipchik said. "Initially, this wasn't part of our grant, but research suggests many people with chronic pain often are depressed and it's certainly something you want to consider when prescribing treatment."
