cultural considerations for disruptive, impulse, control, and conduct disorders

-consider how aggression and behaviors are viewed in different cultures -some test measures may not be suitable for ethnic and racial minorities and some may have bias -the disproportionate rates of minority youth in juvenile justice may be the effect of inconsistent treatment within the juvenile justice system or from dynamics within their social environment -lower SES of ethnic or racial minority children has shown to negatively impact mental health outcomes ranging in difficulties including behaviorally -persistent racism and discrimination is a risk factor for the development of a mental illness

neurodevelopmental disorders

-d/o usually are recognized in the early developmental years -d/o range from transient, developmental difficulties -> chronic, long-term disorders -occur along a continium from mild -> very severe -often time present in childhood but may still affect the individual as an adult -early detection and intervention is key

intermittent explosive disorder

cultural considerations for disruptive, impulse, control, and conduct disorders cont.

-males are more often dx with child onset and pyromania -females dx with CD are at greater risk of teenage pregnancy, have higher mortality rates, and significant increase in criminal behaviors -females are not dx with CD as frequently as males but the rates. have increased over the past 20 years -female offenders are more likely to have comorbid mental disorders and are less likely to receive full treatment

assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders

-most assessment instruments are designed for children or adolescents -information is typically gathered from parents, caregivers, physicians, school personnel (teacher, counselor, etc.) and older childen can provide self-report -always refer to medical screening first to rule out medical causes -assessment instruments -Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children fourth edition (WISC-IV) -Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, second edition (Vineland II) -trauma is often misdiagnosed as ADHD
