Celeste Karr MHS 4408 Research Paper 04/26/17 I chose to explore, recognizing and addressing risk factors in children leading to the prevention of developing mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. Being able to identify risk factors in a child 's life and their displaying behaviors that may lead to a disorder. The preventive models that can be put in place early on to prevent a cognitive or emotional disorder from forming. To introduce this topic we will first identify what a MEB disorder consists of. MEB disorders are health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, and/or behavior that are associated with distress and/or impaired functioning. Mental disorders contribute to a host of problems that may …show more content…
The disorder is marked by changes in: emotions, motivation, their physical well-being and daily thoughts. Bipolar Disorder-Children and adolescents who demonstrate exaggerated mood swings that range from extreme highs (excited or manic phases) to extreme lows (depression) may have bipolar disorder. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder- Young people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are unable to focus their attention and are often impulsive and easily distracted. Most children with this disorder have great difficulty remaining still, taking turns, and keeping quiet. Learning Disorders- Difficulties that make it harder for children and adolescents to receive or express information could be a sign of learning disorders. Learning disorders can show up as problems with spoken and written language, coordination, attention, or self-control. Eating disorders-Children or adolescents who are intensely afraid of gaining weight and do not believe that they are underweight may have eating disorders. Eating disorders can be life threatening. Young people with anorexia nervosa, for example, have difficulty maintaining a minimum healthy body weight. Autism- Children with autism, also called autistic disorder, have problems interacting and communicating with others. Autism appears before the third birthday, causing children to act inappropriately, often repeating behaviors over long periods
Autism is an extremely common developmental disability that affects social communication. There are many different names for autism based on the severity
Eating disorders: is when a person either over or under eats this can be brought on by mental health issues or bullying.
“Attention Deficit Disorder” is a mental disorder which affects individuals’ movements, behavior, and focus. Thereby, it is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity such happens in academic, occupational or social settings.
behavioural disturbances. It is characterized by mania and depression. CLASSIFICATIONMIXED STATES:In this condition, individual has co-occuring manic
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a mild disorder, and children who have been diagnosed have trouble staying focused. A child will experience issues
It is imperative that the appropriate interventions occur in a disadvantaged child’s early years, when both cognitive and emotional development are most easily influenced. For example, Strain & Timm (2001) note that in addressing behavior problems, the most effective interventions were those that occurred prior to school age (the earlier the intervention, the better the outcomes) when parents received the appropriate guidance needed to:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – a condition with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity (affects the way you focus).
On another note, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a mental disorder characterized by inattentiveness, impulsive behavior, and/or hyperactivity in young children. Many cases of ADHD are often misdiagnosed or overlooked. There are many factors that need to be considered in order for someone to have ADHD.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is a common thing in many homes, schools, and work areas. It is a disorder that makes focusing and sitting still impossible. Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder can be classified into three major symptoms. The first symptom is Hyperactivity. It causes rapid movement and the inability to sit still. The second major symptom is Inattention. This causes you to have trouble paying attention to things and can even make it hard to complete task. The last symptom is Impulsivity. This usually consist of blurting out, crossing the street without looking, and making decision that you don’t completely analyze. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can make a person’s everyday life more difficult, but
The onset of bipolar disorder is usually in late adolescence or early adulthood (7). It is possible for both children and adolescents to develop the disease as well. This usually happens when there is a family history for the disease. Children afflicted by bipolar disorder are usually more irritable and destructive during their manic states and are more prone to mixed states (9). It is even harder to diagnose bipolar disorder in children because it is often confused with other problems that occur at a younger age such as attention deficit disorder, conduct disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia (9).
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder it is something which is a common behavioral disorder which affects an estimated big percentage between eight to ten of school children. It is more common in boys than in girls diagnosed with the disease but has not yet been known why. Children with this disorder are hyperactive and experience problem when focusing. They may understand what’s expected of them but have trouble following the rules because they can’t sit still, pay attention or attend to details.
This case study introduces the concept of mood disorders defined as “the elevation or lowering of a person’s mood, such as depression or bipolar disorder: ‘true clinical depression is a mood disorder, which can interfere with everyday life for an extended time’ Also called affective disorder “(Oxford Dictionary Online).
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a general diagnosis of several neurobiological disorders. According to Phetrasuwan et al, ASD is childhood autism (2009). A child’s social interaction and communication skills are affected by this developmental disorder. Some children who have ASD show highly functional cognitive capabilities and others show low functioning cognitive skills. Each ASD case is different,
Autism also known as learning disability problem. According to Michael. D. (2010) autism is a spectrum disorder, which means a child’s symptoms can present in a wide variety of combinations, from mild to severe. Autism can make it difficult for a child to communicate and interact with others. It can also cause a child to perform repetitive activities and movements, become upset at changes in daily routine, and have unusual responses to certain situations.
Autism is a disorder characterized by significant problems in communication and social functioning. Autism is actually called Autism Spectrum Disorder and encompasses a broad range disabilities such as Asperger syndrome, Rett’s Syndrome, and Pervavasive Development Disorder (Dunlap & Fox, n.d.). There are also varying degrees of the disorder from low-functioning (no communication and no social interaction) to
