“…Equal to OCD aspects, the prevalence of ADHD in our sample appears to be 10-times greater in KBG syndrome than compared to the estimated 3% prevalence reported in an Italian sample of 6183 children and adolescent schoolchildren [34]. Previous studies have reported highly variable rates for worldwide ADHD prevalence during childhood and adolescence, ranging from 0.9% to 20%, these data raised concerns about the consistency of estimates and the validity of diagnoses [41,42,43,44,45]. Our data are in line with the report by Brancati and colleagues describing atypical behavioral in seven young subjects with KBG (age ranged from 9 to 15 years) consisting of hyperactivity, anxiety, and poor concentration [46].…”

Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms and Psychopathological Profile in Children and Adolescents with KBG Syndrome

KBG syndrome is a rare multisystem developmental disorder caused by ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 11 (ANKRD11) gene haploinsufficiency, resulting from either intragenic loss-of-function mutations or microdeletions encompassing the gene. Concerning the behavioral phenotype, a limited amount of research has been focused on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, autistic-like features, anxiety and impairments in emotion regulation, and no study has provided a systematic assessment. The aim of the present work is to investigate the psychopathological profile in children, adolescents, and young adults with KBG syndrome. Seventeen subjects with molecularly confirmed diagnoses were evaluated to investigate cognitive abilities and psychopathological features. Parametric and nonparametric indexes were used to describe the patient cohort according to type and distribution of specific measures. The KBG subjects were characterized by a low mean IQ score, with a distribution characterized by a variability similar to that occurring in the general population. Prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders were computed as well as the corresponding confidence intervals to compare their prevalence to that reported for the general population. The KBG subjects were characterized by higher prevalence of obsessive-compulsive, tic, depressive and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a peculiar aspect characterizing the psychopathological profile of KBG patients, which does not seem to be related to the cognitive level. The present study provides new relevant information towards the definition of a psychopathological phenotype of KBG syndromes useful to plan a better treatment for patients.

“…However, some researches have not found differences based on gender (Biederman et al, 2005;De la Barra et al, 2015) following the evidence that men and women have the same genetic risk of presenting ADHD (Martin et al, 2018). Other studies have found a higher prevalence of ADHD in women with and without statistically significant differences compared to men (Cardo et al, 2007;Mora, 2011;Sánchez et al, 2011;Viola & Garrido, 2009;Weiss et al, 2011).…”

Although the estimated prevalence of ADHD in the school population is 5%, various studies carried out in Latin America have obtained higher figures. This descriptive‐cross‐sectional research analysed the prevalence of ADHD symptomatology in a random and probabilistic sample of 1535 schoolchildren from Cuenca‐Ecuador (aged from 72 to 164 months, 51.3% were female and 50% attended public schools). IQ was evaluated using the Raven's Progressive Matrices Test. The ADHD symptomatology was evaluated using the short version of Conners‐3. Descriptive statistics, chisquares and prevalence data were calculated. We found a total prevalence of ADHD symptomatology of 20.3%. A higher prevalence of ADHD symptomatology was reported among girls compared to boys; and in public schools (compared to private schools). These findings may reflect a higher occurrence of ADHD in vulnerable populations that tend to be less well cared for. Although the results do not come from complete individual clinical evaluations, the representativeness of the sample and the simultaneous presence of scores above the cut‐off points in the home and school contexts show a worrying situation that should be taken into account by agents responsible for the design of public health and education policies.

“…La asociación entre los problemas de atención y el uso de servicios de salud mental no es sorprendente, debido a que en la actualidad se admite que el TDAH es la patología neurocomportamental infantil y juvenil más frecuente (Polanczyk et al, 2014). En España, utilizando los criterios diagnósticos del DSM-IV, dos estudios previos encontraron prevalencias de este trastorno de entre el 4.7 % y el 6.6 % (Cardo et al, 2007;Rodríguez Molinero et al, 2009). Asimismo, a través de una revisión sistemática y meta-análisis de 14 estudios a nivel mundial, que incluían un total de 13.023 niños y adolescentes, se ha estimado una prevalencia global del 6.8 % (Catalá-López et al, 2017).…”

Use of psychological care services in young people from the juvenile justice and protection system: An exploratory study Abstract: The objective was to identify the factors associated (i.e., demographic and clinical) with the use of mental health services in adolescents involved in the juvenile protection and justice system in Catalonia, Spain. The sample consisted of 227 adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years. Apart from gathering sociodemographic and treatment information the Youth Self Report was administered to assess psychopathological symptoms. The results showed that 54.2% of participants indicated that they were receiving psychological care. The regression analysis indicated that being younger, being involved in the protection system and presenting higher levels of transgressive behaviors predicted greater use of mental health services. There was no association with any of the internalizing problems. Since referral is the initial step towards using the mental health service, it is important that professionals receive the necessary training to carefully assess the young people under their care and refer them to the correspondent health services. Keywords: Adolescence; service use; juvenile justice; child protection; psychopathology. Resumen: El objetivo fue identificar los factores asociados (i.e, demográficos y clínicos) con el uso de servicios de atención psicológica en adolescentes atendidos por el sistema de protección y justicia juvenil en Cataluña, España. Participaron 227 adolescentes, de 12 a 17 años. Además de obtener datos sociodemográficos y sobre la atención psicológica, se administró el Youth Self Report para evaluar la sintomatología psicopatológica. Un 54.2 % de los adolescentes indicó estar recibiendo atención psicológica. El análisis de regresión indicó que ser más joven, estar en el sistema de protección y presentar niveles superiores de conductas trasgresoras predijeron un mayor uso de servicios de atención psicológica. No hubo asociación con ninguno de los problemas de internalización. Dado que la derivación es el paso inicial para la utilización del servicio de salud mental, es importante que los trabajadores reciban la capacitación necesaria para evaluar cuidadosamente y derivar a los jóvenes bajo su cuidado a los servicios de salud necesarios. Palabras clave: Adolescencia; uso de servicio; justicia juvenil; protección infantil; psicopatología.
