REZUMAT

Atât la adulţi cât şi în cazul populaţiei pediatrice, depresia constituie o cauză majoră de dizabilitate, suicidul fiind a treia cauză de deces în rândul copiilor şi adolescenţilor. Cu toate că depresia şi depresia cu anxietate asociată sunt unele dintre cele mai frecvente patologii psihiatrice în rândul copiilor şi adolescenţilor, având un impact puternic asupra funcţionalităţii globale a acestora şi punând o amprentă remarcabilă asupra procesului lor de dezvoltare, rămâne un domeniu insuficient explorat. Studiul de faţă îşi propune evidenţierea unor pattern-uri demografice şi clinice asociate depresiei şi anxietăţii la copii şi adolescenţi, care pot constitui premise pentru cercetări viitoare mai ample, dar şi pentru consolidarea unor metode de prevenţie primară, secundară şi terţiară.

ABSTRACT

In both adults and pediatric population, depression is a major disability cause; suicide is the third death cause among children and adolescents. Whereas depression and depression with associated anxiety are among the most common psychiatric pathologies in children and adolescents (with strong impact on their global functionality and with a significant influence on their development process), they are far from studied thoroughly. This study aims to highlight certain demographic and clinical patterns associated to depression of anxiety in children and adolescents, which may represent premises for broader future research and for the consolidation of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention methods.

Keywords: depression, anxiety, children and adolescents, suicide

Bipolar disorder remains a condition which it is underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed among children and adolescents. The specific traits, like rapid cycling and mixed episodes often complicate the diagnosis. In additional, overlapping and comorbid conditions may influence the differential diagnosis. Thus, it is necessary that age specific studies may produce diagnostic criteria specific for younger patients because an earlier and accurate diagnosis will determine an adequate therapeutically management.

REZUMAT

Tulburările afective bipolare reprezintă o condiţie medicală încă subdiagnosticată sau nediagnosticată la copii şi adolescenţi. Trăsăturile clinice specifice, cum ar fi ciclarea rapidă şi episoadele mixte, complică, de obicei, posibilităţile de diagnostic clinic. În plus, comorbidităţile asociate sau supraadăugate pot avea impact asupra diagnosticului diferenţial. Astfel, vor fi necesare studii specifice diferitelor grupe de vârstă care vor genera criterii de diagnostic particulare fiecărei vârste. Acest lucru este necesar pentru tinerii pacienţi deoarece un diagnostic adecvat cât mai precoce va determina şi un management terapeutic adecvat.

ABSTRACT

There is an intrinsic relationship between cognitive impairments and vulnerability to schizophrenia. Objective: to evaluate if the cognitive deficits are present to the unaffected childrens of schizophrenic patients and this cognitive deficit could be a good predictor for later psychosis. Methods: the study was of observational prospective type, lasting for 3 years was made on 2 groups – 50 childrens (35 boys, 15 girls; age range = 6-16 years) who had at least one parent meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV TR) criteria for schizophrenia and 10 normal controls, who had healthy parents. Results: There was an important cognitive deficit to the group of childrens with an increased risk for the development of schizophrenia, especially in executive functions. Childhood neurocognitive deficits were related to social skill deficits in adolescence and social isolation, suggesting a causal relationship with at least the interpersonal component of the vulnerability. Conclusions: Cognitive impairment of childrens with increase risk for schizophrenia may represent a valid endophenotyp, which in turn may be a very effective for the study of a disease of a complexity as well as schizophrenia. Also, early cognitive intervention might reduce multiple vulnerability components.

REZUMAT

Există o relaţie intrinsecă între deficitul cognitiv din schizofrenie şi vulnerabilitatea pentru această tulburare. Obiectiv: de a evalua dacă deficitul cognitiv este prezent la copiii pacienţilor diagnosticaţi cu schizofrenie şi dacă acest deficit cognitiv manifest ar putea reprezenta un predictor pentru dezvoltarea unei psihoze viitoare. Metode: studiul a fost unul de tip prospectiv observaţional, cu o durată de 3 ani, asupra a două loturi de studiu – 50 de copii (35 de băieţi şi 15 fete, cu media de vârstă între 6 şi 16 ani), care aveau cel puţin un părinte care îndeplinea criteriile de diagnostic pentru schizofrenie, conform DSM-IV TR, şi 10 indivizi de control, care aveau ambii părinţi sănătoşi. Rezultate: s-a observat că există un deficit cognitiv semnificativ din punct de vedere statistic la grupul de copii cu risc crescut de dezvoltare a schizofreniei, în special în ceea ce priveşte funcţiile executive, comparativ cu grupul de control. Deficitele cognitive din copilărie au fost corelate cu performanţe scăzute la nivel social în adolescenţă, izolare socială la vârsta adultă, sugerând astfel o relaţie cauzală cel puţin cu componenta interpersonală a vulnerabilităţii. Concluzii: deficitul cognitiv la copiii cu risc crescut de dezvoltare a schizofreniei ar putea reprezenta un endofenotip, care ar putea avea un rol important în studiul unei afecţiuni de o asemenea complexitate cum este schizofrenia. De asemenea, intervenţia cognitivă precoce ar putea influenţa multiplele componente ale vulnerabilităţii pentru schizofrenie.

REZUMAT

Frecvenţa comportamentului suicidar la copii şi la adolescenţi a cunoscut o creştere semnificativă în ultimii ani, reprezentând un fenomen plurifactorial, cu determinanţi încadraţi atât în rândul patologiilor psihiatrice, relaţionându-se predominant depresiei si tulburărilor de conduită, cât şi în rândul unor variaţi factori de mediu ce includ familiile disfuncţionale, eşecul şcolar, relaţiile defectuase cu anturajul şi incluzând o problemă de interes crescând care se situează la graniţa dintre boală şi factor social, reprezentată de abuzul de substanţe psihoactive. Modalităţile de abordare rămân nesistematizate şi insuficiente, menţinând astfel deschisă o temă de studiu fundamentală, suicidul la copil şi adolescent şi ridicând problema perfecţionării unor mijloace de intervenţie eficiente, pentru această situaţie de importanţă globală.

ABSTRACT

The frequency of suicidal behavior in children and adolescents has increased significantly in recent years, representing a plurifactorial phenomenon, with determining factors in both psychiatric disorders, especially depression and conduct disorders, and also environmental factors including dysfunctional families, academic failure, faulty relationships, including an issue of increasing interest which lies on the border between illness and social factor, represented by the abuse of psychoactive substances. Approaches remain unorganized and inadequate, thus maintaining a real interest in the folowing subject, child and adolescent suicide, and furthermore raising the issue of improving the means of effective intervention for this situation of global importance.

Keywords: suicidal behavior, children and adolescents, depression in children, dysfunctional families, substance abuse

REZUMAT

Tulburarea afectivă bipolară devine o patologie tot mai frecventă în sfera pediatrică, ridicând numeroase probleme de diagnostic de certitudine cât şi diferenţial. De cele mai multe ori, criteriile standard ale bolii nu sunt întru totul îndeplinite la copil, fiind necesară o particularizare a acestora şi o mai exactă clasificare a tipurilor nosologice. Totodată, o problemă centrală este cea a diferenţierii şi/sau detectării comorbidităţii cu ADHD şi cu tulburările de conduită ale copilului.

ABSTRACT

The bipolar disorder becomes more and more frequent in the pediatric field, raising numerous questions regarding the diagnosis. In most cases, the standard criteria of the disease are not fully met in the case of a child, requiring their particularization and a more accurate classification. Also, a central issue is the differentiation and/ or detection of comorbidity with ADHD and conduct disorders in children.

Keywords: bipolar disorder, ADHD, conduct disorder, mania/hypomania in children
