Goals / Objectives

• Recall first line treatment guidelines
What will we cover?
•
•
•
•
•
•
ADHD
Pediatric Bipolar Disorder
Anxiety Disorders
Autism

Substance abuse
Fred Rogers
• “Play is often talked
about as if it were a
relief from serious
learning. But for
children play is serious
learning. Play is really
the work of
childhood.”
Child Psychiatry Interview Pearls
• Manage the room
• Ask intimate questions privately
• Be able to “surf” from shallow to deep
• Start with social history
• Safety is #1 priority
ADHD
Pop Quiz: ADHD
According to the largest study of ADHD to
date (the MTA trial), which was the most
effective treatment for ADHD in kids after 1
year?
A. Stimulant medication
B. Behavioral therapy
C. School intervention
D. Stimulant + Behavioral therapy
E. Low sugar diet
Elementary School child with ADHD
Epidemiology of ADHD in Children
• Prevalence is ~ 9.5% of children,
• 2/3 treated
• Males > Female by 4:1
• Life course
– Hyperactivity , Inattention persists
• High comorbidity (2/3)
– ODD, learning disorder, smoking, etc.

with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. JAACAP 2007;46(7): 894-921
Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD
(DSM-IV)
• Must occur before age 7 years
• Present for at least 6 months
• Causes impairment in at least 2 settings
• Meets 6 of 9 symptoms of inattention
AND/OR
• 6 of 9 symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsivity
Diagnosis: Inattentive Subtype
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Careless mistakes in schoolwork
Poor attention in tasks or play
Doesn’t listen when spoken to directly
Fails to finish things (not oppositional or unable)
Difficulty organizing
Avoids/dislikes tasks requiring focusing
Loses necessary items
Distracted by extraneous stimuli
Forgetful in daily activities
Diagnosis: Hyperactive-Impulsive
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Fidgets with hands/feet or squirms in seat
Often leaves seat when inappropriate
Runs about or climbs excessively when inappropriate
Difficulty playing quietly
Often “on the go” or acts as if “driven by a motor”
Often talks excessively
Blurts answers before question completed
Difficulty awaiting turn
Often interrupts or intrudes on others
Treatments
• Stimulant medications – 1st line (MTA)
• Alternative non-stimulant medications
• Psychoeducation
• Community support
• Behavioral interventions
• School interventions
Stimulant Medications: Efficacy
• One of the most robust treatments in psychiatry
• 70% of children with ADHD will respond to any
one of the stimulants, all generally equal
efficacy
• An additional 20% will respond to the next one
attempted
• If the 1st and 2nd choices fail, check for wrong
diagnosis and/or comorbidity
Medical Issues
• Growth: Faraone meta-analysis:
– after 2-3 years on stimulants, kids were 1-2.5 cm shorter
– Growth rate increases when stimulants stopped
• Cardiac Risk
– AHA: 1999 guidelines – no routine EKG
– AHA: 2008 guidelines – ‘‘...it is reasonable for a physician to
consider obtaining an ECG as part of the evaluation of
children being considered for stimulant drug therapy, but this
should be at the physician’s judgment, and it is not
mandatory to obtain one”
Bipolar disorder
Pop Quiz: Bipolar
A 14 year old girl is being treated for pediatric
bipolar disorder, when she develops breast
tenderness and galactorrhea. Which
medication is she most likely taking?
A.Carbamazepine
B.Risperidone
C.Lithium
D.Valproic Acid
E.Topiramate
Diagnosis
• Mania:
–
–

I – Indiscretion (pleasurable activities)
G – Grandiosity
F – Flight of Ideas

T – Talkativeness (pressured)

Pervasive Developmental Disorders
• Definition:
– Group of psychiatric conditions in which expected social skills,
language development, and behavioral repertoire either don’t
develop or are lost in early childhood
•
•
•
•
Early in life (by age 2)
Cause persistent dysfunction
Often associated with mental retardation (50%)
Spectrum of severity
Diagnosis
• History – early development, age of onset, family and
medical history
– AAP 2007: screen all kids 18 months, age 2
• Developmental & psychological assessment
–
–
–
–
Intelligence, learning
Communication – language, nonverbal
Adaptive behavior – generalize skills to real world
OT / PT as needed
• Psychiatric exam
– Social relatedness, behavior, language, play skills
• Medical – genetics, seizures, hearing, etc.
Epidemiology
• Autistic Disorder
– Prevalence: 2.5 to 72 per 10,000 children
– Distributed equally among all socioeconomic levels
– Male to female ratio 3:1
– Genetic cause
– Debunked thimerosol, MMR vaccine theory
– Lifetime cost of care: $3 million
• Asperger’s disorder
– Prevalence: 4.3 per 10,000
– Male to female ratio 10:1
Autistic disorder
• 6 items from 3 categories
– Category 1: Social impairment

posture, etc.)

– Category 3: Restricted patterns of behavior,
interest, activities

• Repetitive patterns of behavior
– Star Wars, machines, World of Warcraft, etc.
• NO language delay
– often advanced speech – “Little Professor”

Model)
