OCD causes are largely unknown, however there is some evidence that it runs in families and is associated with environmental risk factors, such as child maltreatment or traumatic childhood events. PTSD is characterized as debilitating development symptoms following exposure to a traumatic or dangerous event. Needless to say, whenever changing a personal routine to escape having to be reminded of an event, or being hyperaroused that makes daily tasks nearly impossible to complete, these can include ‘reexperiencing’ symptoms from an event, such as flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance symptoms. However, other traumatic events, such as rape, child abuse, car accidents, and natural disasters have also been shown to give rise to PTSD, PTSD was first identified because of symptoms experienced by soldiers and those in war.
Schizophrenia defining characteristic and other psychotic disorders is abnormalities in one or more of five domains.
Occurring in children and teens, conduct disorder is a persistent pattern of disruptive and violent behaviors that violate others basic rights or ageappropriate social norms or rules, and causes significant impairment in the child or family’s boring life. With that said, disorders in this category include schizotypal disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophreniform disorder. As a result, the most common diagnosis in this category is schizophrenia.
Prerequisites for OCD include obsessions presence, compulsions, or both.
Compulsions include repetitive behaviors that the person is compelled to carry out ritualistically in response to an obsession or in accordance with a rigid set of rules. Remember, obsessions may include persistent thoughts, images, or urges and are perceived as unpleasant and involuntary. OCD symptom is a person who is obsessed with germs and feels compelled to wash their hands excessively. On p of that, compulsions are carried out in an effort to prevent or reduce anxiety or distress, and yet are clearly excessive or unrealistic. OCD symptoms are time consuming and cause significant dysfunction in boring life.
The three overarching features of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Whenever running about, or difficulty sitting still, hyperactivity should be defined by fidgeting or squirming, excessive talking. So, impulsive children can be impatient, may blurt out answers to questions prematurely, have trouble waiting their turn, may frequently interrupt conversations, or intrude on others’ activities. Inattentive children may have trouble paying close attention to details, make careless mistakes in schoolwork, are easily distracted, have difficulty following through on tasks, such as homework assignments, or quickly become bored with a task.

Genetic predisposition correlates to risk for developing the disease, while family history of psychosis is often not predictive of schizophrenia. Find more information about PTSD on the NIMH website or on the National Center for PTSD maintained by Veterans Department Affairs. For information about PTSD treatment, visit SAMHSA’s Treatments for Mental Disorders page. Physiological factors, such as certain pregnancy and birth complications and environmental factors, such as season of birth and growing up in an urban environment can be associated with increased risk for schizophrenia.
Diagnosis of PTSD must be preceded by exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or violence. Whenever learning that the traumatic event occurred to a close family member or friend, or repeated exposure to distressing traumatic details event, this may entail directly experiencing or witnessing the traumatic event. They also experience significant changes in arousal and reactivity associated with the traumatic events, such as hypervigilance, distractibility, exaggerated startle response, and irritable or ‘self destructive’ behavior. You see, anybody diagnosed with PTSD experience intrusive symptoms, avoidance of stimuli associated with the traumatic event, and negative changes in cognition and mood corresponding with the traumatic event.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is defined by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivityimpulsivity.
It is estimated that ADHD prevalence among adults is 5%. The disorder occurs four times as often among boys than girls. Needless to say, while interacting with other children, and following through on tasks, children with ADHD have difficulty performing well in school. ADHD is the more common mental disorders diagnosed among children. For youth ages 13 to 18, the prevalence rate is 9%. It is there are three sub disorder types. Data from the 2011 National Health Interview Survey indicate that parents of 4% of children aged 3 to 17 years had been informed that their child had ADHD. Adults with ADHD are often extremely distractible and have significant difficulties with organization.
Evidence suggests that many anxiety disorders might be caused by a combination of genetics, biology, and environmental factors. Adverse childhood experiences may also contribute to risk for developing anxiety disorders. While smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy, exposure to lead, and history of child maltreatment, environmental risk factors may include low birth weight. Notice that current research suggests that ADHD has a high degree of heritability, however, the exact gene or constellation of genes that give rise to the disorder are not known.

People with bipolar and related disorders experience atypical, dramatic swings in mood, and activity levels that go from periods of feeling intensely happy, irritable, and impulsive to periods of intense sadness and feelings of hopelessness. Not a fullblown manic episode, the bipolar II diagnosis is used when there is a more regular occurrence of depressive episodes gether with a hypomanic episode. The bipolar I diagnosis is used when there had been at least one manic episode in a person’s life. You should take this seriously. People with this disorder experience discrete mood episodes, characterized as either People exhibiting these symptoms are most frequently identified as having one of two bipolar types disorders.

Conduct primary symptoms disorder include aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of rules. Bipolar disorders are characterized by manic and depressive episodes, as mentioned previously. Depressive episodes may present as a persistent, sad mood, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities. While gaining or losing a significant percentage of weight, complaining about pain, or suicidal thoughts or plans, behavioral changes associated with depressive episodes may include fatigue or loss of energy. Symptoms must be present for 12 months and fall into one of three subtypes relying on the age at onset. You see, in children, manic episodes may present as an excessively silly or joyful mood that is unusual for the child or an uncharacteristically irritable temperament and are accompanied by unusual behavioral changes, such as decreased need for sleep, ‘riskseeking’ behavior, and distractibility.
Children with oppositional defiant disorder display a frequent and persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness.
National prevalence data indicate that nearly 40 million people in the United States experience an anxiety disorder in any given year. Symptoms are typically first seen in the preschool years, and often precede conduct development disorder. Although, Behavioral Health, United States -2012, lifetime phobias and generalized anxiety disorders are the most prevalent among adolescents between 13 ages and 18 and have the earliest median age of first onset, around age Phobias and generalized anxiety usually first appear around age 11, and they are the most prevalent anxiety disorders in adults, in consonance with SAMHSA’s report.
Conduct disorder should be preceded by temperamental risk factors, such as behavioral difficulties in infancy and ‘below average’ intelligence.
Parental criminality, frequent changes of caregivers, large family size, familial psychopathology, and early institutional living may also contribute to risk for developing the disorder. Children with a parent or sibling with conduct disorder or other behavioral health disorders are more likely to develop the condition. Similar to ODD, environmental risk factors may include harsh or inconsistent ‘child rearing’ practices and/or child maltreatment. While learning disorders, and depression, children with conduct disorder often present with other disorders as well, including ADHD. For example, community level risk factors may include neighborhood exposure to violence, peer rejection, and association with a delinquent peer group.
Depressive disorders are among the most common mental health disorders in the United States.

Major depressive disorder is defined as having a depressed mood for lots of the day and a marked loss of interest or pleasure, among other symptoms present nearly every day for at least a ‘twoweek’ period.
Based on the 2014 NSDUH data, 6percent of adults aged 18 or older had a major depressive episode in 2014, which was defined by the Diagnostic 4th edition and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. While female youths were about three times as likely as male youths to experience a MDE, the NSDUH data also show that MDE prevalence among adolescents aged 12 to 17 was 114percentage in 2014. Adverse childhood experiences and stressful life experiences are known to contribute to risk for MDD. MDD is thought to have many possible causes, including genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Those with closely related family members who are diagnosed with the disorder are at increased risk.
ObsessiveCompulsive and Related Disorders

Oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder are this most prominent class of disorders in children. Schizophrenia lifetime prevalence is estimated to be about 1% of the population. OCD tends to begin in childhood or adolescence, with most individuals being diagnosed by 19 age. Childhoodonset schizophrenia is defined by persistent presence thoughts, urges, or images that are intrusive and unwanted, or repetitive and ritualistic behaviors that a person feels are necessary in order to control obsessions.
The defining characteristic of ‘traumaand’ ‘stressor related’ disorders is previous exposure to a traumatic or stressful event.
