“…Typically, researchers have found that boys are at higher risk for externalizing problems than girls and girls are more likely to experience internalizing problems compared to boys. 4,12,13 Therefore, our results are of concern because the internalizing and externalizing problems associated with these eating problems are significant and do not fit gender typical patterns.…”

“…In their sample, externalizing behaviors were both predicted and predictive of inappropriate compensatory behaviors to control weight and shape. Given that boys are more likely to report externalizing problems, 12 we hypothesize that boys with eating problems may be particularly at risk for externalizing problems.…”

Objective: To examine the developmental eating trajectories of adolescents and identify psychological correlates and risk factors associated with those trajectories.Method: Seven hundred thirty-nine adolescents completed self-reported measures of eating problems, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, alcohol and drug use, peer victimization, and depression.Results: Five eating trajectories were obtained. The proportions of males and females were the same in the increasing eating problems trajectory. For both genders, internalizing and externalizing problems were identified as associated risk factors of an eating pathology and reporting at least some eating problems was associated with an increased likelihood of psychological problems. Other risk factors found only in boys were frequency of drug use, victimization, and depressive symptoms.Conclusion: Externalizing problems in girls and internalizing behaviors in boys with disordered eating should not be overlooked. Atypical eating behaviors in boys are of particular concern since it increases their risk of cooccurring psychopathology. V V C 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In all of these countries the indigenous populations are younger than the non-indigenous populations which have lower suicide rates (Clarke, Frankish, & Green, 1997). It has been suggested that a cohort effect might account for these observations, whereby young people in populations with a larger fraction of young people could be expected to have more problems than societies with a smaller proportion of young people (Offer & Schonert-Reichl, 1992).…”

Summary: As the medical and surgical management of epilepsy continues to advance, issues associated with the quality of life of patients and their families can be addressed. Whenever associated with other handicaps, such as learning disabilities, attentional or behavioral disorders, and problems in psychological adjustment, dual-diagnosis issues must be identified. To provide comprehensive care for children with epilepsy, a team approach to psychosocial assessment and treatment must be provided and coordinated with neurologic care. When the agerelated needs in the life stage of the individual and family are identified, the best possible adaptation of the patient and his or her family can be supported.
