“…Pour certains auteurs (Fombonne et al, 2001), l'épisode dépressif majeur constitue un facteur de risque de comportements suicidaires encore plus important quand il est combiné à un trouble des conduites. La dépression est le trouble psychiatrique le plus fréquent chez les jeunes délinquants (Goldstein et al, 2005) (en excluant le trouble des conduites, et elle affecterait environ 80 % des jeunes incarcérés [Domalanta et al, 2003]). Plus spécifi quement, chez des adolescents qui présentent des troubles du comportement ou des conduites, la concomitance des symptômes dépressifs augmente le risque de comportements suicidaires Kempton et Forehand, 1992 ;Battle et al, 1993 ;Harris et Lennings, 1993 ;Penn et al, 2003 ;Sanislow et al, 2003 ;Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 2004 ;Hayes, 2005 ;Roberts et Bender, 2006 ;Wasserman et McReynolds, 2006 ;Renaud et al, 2008).…”

“…Au-delà de ces divergences, l'abus de substances psychotropes est très prévalent chez les adolescents qui se suicident dans un contexte de détention. Dans une étude effectuée chez les adolescents incarcérés (Domalanta et al, 2003), 43 % des garçons et 36 % des fi lles avaient un problème d'abus d'alcool ; 27 % des garçons et des fi lles avaient un problème d'abus de substances psychotropes (Goldstein et al, 2005 ;Hart et al, 2007). En outre, l'abus de substances psychotropes et l'intoxication peuvent en soi exposer davantage les adolescents à des situations diffi ciles et ainsi interférer avec l'instauration de mécanismes d'adaptation effi caces, contribuant indirectement au risque suicidaire .…”

Bien que l’on observe une diminution marquée de la mortalité par suicide chez les jeunes au cours des dernières années, le suicide représente la deuxième cause de mortalité chez les 15-19 ans et la première chez les 20-34 ans. Les délinquants juvéniles constituent un groupe à risque accru de comportements suicidaires, mais les facteurs de risque chez cette population sont encore peu étudiés. Cet article présente les principaux facteurs de risque et de protection associés au risque suicidaire chez les jeunes contrevenants en les intégrant dans un modèle interactif. Parmi les facteurs pris en compte dans le modèle se trouvent les facteurs liés aux événements de vie, les facteurs individuels (psychopathologie, consommation de substances psychotropes et/ou d’alcool, caractéristiques individuelles et de personnalité), les facteurs sociaux (famille, réseau social) et les facteurs résidentiels (milieu de vie et voisinage, école, milieu résidentiel pour jeunes contrevenants). Afin d’appuyer le modèle interactif présenté, le cas d’un adolescent jeune contrevenant, Olivier, est exposé.Although a marked decrease is observed in recent years, suicide is the second cause of mortality for 15-19 year olds, and the first cause for 20-34 year olds. Juvenile offenders have a higher risk of suicidal behaviours, but risk factors in this population are not well studied. This paper presents the principal risk and protection factors associated with juvenile offender suicide risk by integrating them in an interactive model. Among the factors taken into account in the model are factors related to life events, individual factors (psychopathology, substance abuse, individual and personality characteristics), social factors (family, social network) and living factors (life environment and neighbourhood, school, residential facilities for young offenders). The case study of a teenage young offender – Olivier – is presented in order to support the interactive model.Aunque ha disminuido considerablemente en años recientes, el suicidio es la segunda causa de mortalidad para la población de 15 a 19 años y la primera en la de 20 a 34 años. A pesar de que la delincuencia es un factor de riesgo de suicidio adicional entre los jóvenes, los estudios al respecto son todavía escasos. Este artículo presenta los principales factores de riesgo y de protección asociados al suicidio entre los jóvenes infractores, integrando dichos factores en un modelo interactivo. Entre los factores tomados en cuenta en el modelo tenemos los ligados a eventos de sus vidas, los individuales (psicopatología, consumo de sustancias psicotrópicas o alcohol, características individuales y de personalidad), y factores sociales (familia, red social) y los factores residenciales (medio de vida y vecindario, escuela, medio residencial para jóvenes infractores). Se presenta también el caso de Olivier, joven infractor, con el fin de ilustrar el funcionamiento del modelo interactivo

“…No Brasil, um estudo epidemiológico sobre prevalência de TDM encontrou valores de 0,4 a 3% em crianças e de 3,3 a 12,4% em adolescentes 23 . Um estudo com um grupo de 100 adolescentes relatou que, entre aqueles em conflito com a lei, 18% possuía diagnóstico de TDM, enquanto nos outros adolescentes o índice estimado foi de 4% [24][25][26] . Percebe-se que os índices de prevalência de TDM podem sofrer oscilações em função de aspectos regionais, econômicos, pessoais, etapa do ciclo de vida dos pacientes pesquisados ou mesmo pelas metodologias usadas em cada pesquisa.…”

Objectives: To review epidemiological and etiologic aspects of diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders (MDs) in children and adolescents, with a focus on essential information for pediatricians. Sources:A literature search on MEDLINE, a review of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (text revision) (DSM-IV-TR), and a critical analysis of current diagnostic criteria and scientific evidence regarding the etiology of mood disorders were performed. Summary of the findings:We identified diverging opinions for and against the proposition of using the same criteria used for adults, as listed in the DSM-IV-TR, for diagnosing mood disorders in children and adolescents. Although there has been much debate in the literature on this topic in the last decade, there remains a concern that there may be a significant under-diagnosis of cases due to differing methods. Several epidemiological studies conducted in pediatric populations using different criteria and methods make it difficult to interpret the data currently published. Although the field of neurosciences has achieved major advances in understanding these pathologies, additional investigations are needed to gain a clearer picture of how genetic and environmental factors interact and influence the origin and severity of the disease and the patient's response to treatment. Conclusions:MDs have a high prevalence in childhood and adolescence and have major long-term impacts on sufferer's lives. There is a need to improve diagnostic criteria, adapting them for the pediatric population, with the objective of making it simpler for clinicians, particularly pediatricians, to make diagnoses and initiate early intervention. Advances in the area of epigenetics may aid in the development of new preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2011;87(5):373-81:Mental health, child behavior, mood disorders, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, differential diagnosis, comorbidity, epigenetics. ResumoObjetivos: Revisar aspectos epidemiológicos e etiológicos do diagnóstico e tratamento dos transtornos do humor em crianças e adolescentes, com foco em conteúdos essenciais para médicos pediatras. Fontes dos dados:Revisão da literatura no banco de dados da MEDLINE. Utilização das recomendações da quarta edição do texto revisado do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais da Associação Americana de Psiquiatria. Análise crítica dos atuais critérios diagnósticos e teorias científicas sobre etiologia dos transtornos do humor. Síntese dos dados:Foram identificadas opiniões discordantes e congruentes sobre a efetividade de se utilizar os mesmos critérios atualmente listados no Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais para diagnóstico de transtornos do humor em adultos, adolescentes e crianças. Embora esse tópico tenha sido muito debatido na literatura dos últimos 10 anos, a percepção é de que uma porcentagem significativa de casos continuam sendo subdiagnostic...

“…The prevalence of major affective disorder in the studies varies from 5 percent to 88 percent; substance use disorders from 20 percent to 88 percent; and psychosis from 12 percent to 45 percent. [18][19][20] Such inconsistencies may arise from discrepancies in methodology like use of different diagnostic and interviewing methods, which have different thresholds for detecting psychiatric morbidity. 13 This also may be due to the differences in the infrastructure, culture and the perception of population.…”

A cross sectional study of psychiatric morbidity in juvenile boys admitted in an observation home

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: It is estimated that 10-20% of children and adolescents are affected annually by psychiatric problems. Studies in several countries across three continents have repeatedly shown that young offenders have higher rates of psychiatric morbidity than youths in the community. Given the growth of juvenile delinquent population, epidemiologic data on their psychiatric evaluation is becoming increasingly important. Thus, to study the psychiatric morbidity in juvenile delinquent boys in an observation home was undertaken.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in an observation home for boys. Study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. Prior to conducting the study, informed written consent was sought from the superintendent of observation home for boys. The study sample consists of 50 boys from the observation home aged between 6-16 years. Boys from observation home for whom responsible legal authority gave permission were included in the study.Results: Prevalence of individual psychiatric disorders was as follows: conduct disorder 23 (46%), anxiety disorder 05(10%), oppositional defiance disorder 04 (08%), mild mental retardation 03 (06%), depression 02 (04%), psychosis 01(02%), adjustment disorder 01(02%), disorders of emotions and conduct 01 (02%). In our study prevalence of psychiatric disorder was more common in juveniles under conflict of law (19 out of 20) than juveniles under care and protection (25 out of 30).Conclusions: Initial screening of juveniles in observation home by expert mental health care professionals is needed for the rational management of psychiatric morbidity and enhancement of their development towards productive adulthood and productive integration into the general society.
