Risk factors for behavioural and emotional disorders in children with mild intellectual disability

Abstract

Introduction

Behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disability

“…Also, similar results were obtained in both groups of respondents on relation between anxiety and age. These findings are also noticed in other authors who pointed to the emotional difficulties intensifying at a later age (Mahoney, 2002;Tomic et al, 2012). …”

“…Persons with MID more frequently express externalizing than internalizing behavioral problems, although the incidence of internalizing behavioral problems intensifies with the age of respondents (Tomic et al, 2012). The reasons for the occurrence of affective disorders in persons with intellectual disabilities can be found in a lack of support that these individuals receive in their environment, inadequate stimulation, low level of achieved social interactions, associated disorders, etc.…”

A Review of the Aetiopathogenesis and Clinical and Histopathological Features of Oral Mucosal Melanoma

“…In addition, for those oral mucosal melanoma cells with KIT activating mutations, treatment with cKit inhibitors which target the cKit intracellular signalling pathway may be beneficial [32]. However, as in mucosal melanoma activating mutations of the KIT oncogene can occur at each of the gene's several exons [20, 33], target therapy may be successful only if the targeted molecules of the molecularly altered receptor protein are expressed by tumour cells.…”

Neurocognitive functioning of children with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disorders: profile characteristics and predictors of behavioural problems

“…However, the accumulating research on predictors of internalising and externalising problems in children with MBID so far has predominantly affirmed the importance of adverse environmental and socio-demographic determinants as conditions for developing psychopathology. Family dysfunctioning, chronic parental stress and adverse parental behaviour can herein be considered as most influential risk factors next to the presence of co-morbid physical symptoms (Dekker & Koot 2003;Wallander et al 2006;Tomic et al 2012). Particularly for the MBID population, also a low socio-economic status is associated with a higher vulnerability for mental health problems to emerge in children (Essex et al 2006;Tomic et al 2012).…”
