“…Also, it is inconsistent with Du Paul et al,2013 who found that the most common comorbid conditions were specific learning disorders. These discrepancies may be a result of the differences in the age of pediatrics or the instruments and diagnostic criteria used to assess comorbid psychiatry disorders [8,31,[35][36][37][38].…”

Background and Purpose: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children. The purpose of this study is to explore the rate of psychiatric comorbidities among children with ADHD and investigating the impact of comorbidities on function of children. Subjects and Methods: Sixty-four children of both genders who fulfilled DSM-5 criteria for ADHD were included. All subjects were subjected to IQ assessment, Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS), Conners Rating Scale, and Child Behavior Check List (CBCL). Results: Combined subtype was the commonest (50%) followed by hyperactive-impulsive (31.25%), then inattentive (18.75%). Psychiatric comorbid disorder among pediatric cases with ADHD was ODD (31.25%), followed by nocturnal enuresis (23.44%), conduct disorders (18.75%), motor tic disorders (15.63%), anxiety disorders (12.50%), depressive disorders (10.94%), substance abuse disorders (9.38%), autism spectrum disorders (7.81%), vocal tic disorders (1.56%). There was a statistically significant difference between gender and conduct disorder and SUDs (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in the distribution of comorbidities among subtypes except for conduct disorder (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between comorbidities and severity of ADHD, according to the Conners scale (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between comorbidities number and different CBCL parameters (P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between the number of comorbidities and total competence and positive correlation with the total problem (P<0.05). Conclusions: The presence of comorbid disorders among pediatric cases with ADHD is the rule rather than the exception. Oppositional defiant disorder, followed by nocturnal enuresis, are the most common comorbid diseases. Comorbidities number is negatively correlated with total competence and positively correlated with the total problem.

Background and AimsOne of the most common mental disorders among children and adolescent is depression. Some of the conducted studies indicate a too‐high prevalence of depression, which cannot be generalized to the entire country. So the pooled estimation of the results of different studies is very important to reach valid results. So the current study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among Iranian children and adolescents using an updated systematic review and meta‐analysis.MethodsA random‐effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of depression (I2 = 99.7% and Cochran's Q, p < 0.001). To assess the effect of different factors on heterogeneity, the univariate meta‐regression model was used. Publication bias was evaluated by Beggs and Eggers tests as well as funnel plots. Data were analyzed by STATA v 11 (StataCorp.). The significance level of the tests was considered less than 0.05.ResultsThe prevalence of depression was 33.3% (95% CI: 27.3−39.2). The most prevalence estimated using the Beak questionnaire (57.1% [95% CI: 50.2−64.0]) and the lowest was estimated using the K‐SADS‐PL (9.0% [95% CI: 4.0−13.6]). This estimate among females was more than among males (47.2% [95% CI: 35.4−58.9] vs. 30.5 [95% CI: 7.4−53.6]). Regarding the geographical region, the most and the lowest amount of depression was seen in the central with 41.7% (95% CI: 19.2−64.3) and southern region with 21.9% (95% CI: 14.2−29.6), respectively.ConclusionThe high prevalence of depressive disorders in Iranian children emphasizes the importance of prevention measures for these disorders.

Introduction:The birth order and the frequency of criminal record can be factors affecting on the stress and attention deficit / hyperactivity of the thieves. Aim:The present study evaluates the stress and attention deficit / hyperactivity symptoms in a group of thieves in terms of birth order and frequency of criminal record.Method: This research was a causal comparative study in which 100 individuals commited theft who in the years 2015-2016 in Rasht central prison were punished by non-random targeted sampling were selected. Samples by the legal and demographic variables inventory, the stress scale, Conners' adult attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder rating scale-self-report-screening version, and the Wender Utah rating scale were studied and data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and univariate analysis of variance.Results: With the exception of the relationship between birth order with Conners' attention deficit and the frequency of criminal record with Conners' hyperactivity impulsivity (P>0.05), other components of Conners' attention deficit hyperactivity and Wender childhood attention deficit hyperactivity in second and third children, and individuals with two, three or more criminal records is more than the first born and people with one criminal record (P<0.05). Meanwhile, none of these groups showed a difference in stress level (P>0.05). Conclusion:The birth order and the frequency of criminal record can have a significant relationship with the representation of attention deficit / hyperactivity symptoms of thieves. Therefore, monitoring, evaluation and psychological intervention of these individuals with the aim of reducing impulsive behaviors will be recommended.
