“…This debate on birth order characteristics later involved psychiatric illnesses such as obsessive–compulsive disorder,[5] schizophrenia,[67891011] gender identity disorder, and somatization disorder. [12] Studies have investigated the associations between birth order and various forms of psychopathology, including depression,[13] alcohol abuse,[14] autism spectrum disorder,[1516] anorexia nervosa,[17] delinquency,[18] and the negative effects on well-being. [19] But such association remains unclear due to lack of consideration of the confounding effects of family size.…”

Context:Ordinal position the child holds within the sibling ranking of a family is related to intellectual functioning, personality, behavior, and development of psychopathology.Aim:To study the association between birth order and development of psychopathology in patients attending psychiatry services in a teaching hospital.Settings and Design:Hospital-based cross-sectional study.Materials and Methods:Retrospective file review of three groups of patients was carried out. Patient-related variables like age of onset, birth order, family type, and family history of mental illness were compared with psychiatry diagnosis (ICD-10) generated.Statistical Analysis:SPSS 13; descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used.Results:Mean age of onset of mental illness among the adult general psychiatry patients (group I, n = 527) was found to be 33.01 ± 15.073, while it was 11.68 ± 4.764 among the child cases (group II, n = 47) and 26.74 ± 7.529 among substance abuse cases (group III, n = 110). Among group I patients, commonest diagnosis was depression followed by anxiety and somatoform disorders irrespective of birth order. Dissociative disorders were most prevalent in the first born child (36.7%) among group II patients. Among group III patients, alcohol dependence was maximum diagnosis in all birth orders.Conclusions:Depression and alcohol dependence was the commonest diagnosis in adult group irrespective of birth order.

This article investigates the role of interpersonal relationships in shaping sex differences in the manifestation, etiology, and developmental course of conduct problems and their treatment needs. The review examines whether: (1) Girls' conduct problems are more likely than boys' to manifest as a function of disrupted relationships with caretakers and peers; (2) For girls more than for boys, the outcomes of conduct problems in adolescence and adulthood, and related treatment needs, are more likely to be a consequence of the quality of interpersonal relationships with others, particularly opposite-sex peers and partners. Evidence reviewed suggests that boys and girls share many similarities in their expression of conduct problems, but that a relational perspective does unify important differences. There is fair evidence that girls with conduct problems are more likely to come to the attention of authorities because of chaotic, unstable family relationships, and to express antisocial behavior in the context of close relationships; there is stronger evidence that the course and outcomes of conduct problems in females versus males pertain to interpersonal relationship impairments. Those sex differences map onto specific differences in treatment needs. Further empirical testing of the proposed relational model is indicated.
