Depression
In 2015, an estimated 3 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 in the United States had at least one major depressive episode in the past year.
This number represented 12.5% of the U.S. population aged 12 to 17.

Symptom variation based on age. Childhood Clinical PresentationLook for symptoms within appropriate developmental contextsChildren have fewer melancholic symptoms, fewer suicide attempts, andfewer delusional symptoms
IrritabilityLow frustration toleranceTemper tantrumsSomatic complaintsSocial withdrawal“Acting out”School refusalFailure to make expected weight gain

![Page 16: EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN CHILDREN WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT … · When do we see Depression? Depression more common with higher age but described even in infants. Bowlby‐depression in institutionalized](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ecb221c69e74e492a2ba3fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Differential Diagnosis

When do we see Depression?
Depression more common with higher age but described even in infants.
Bowlby ‐ depression in institutionalized infants had sleep disturbance, feeding, listless, withdrawn, protest, anxiety, despair, detachment.
Is depression in children & adolescents the same illness as in adults? Recent studies show it is continuous with the adult disease with high relapse rates for those with 1stepisode in childhood
![Page 18: EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN CHILDREN WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT … · When do we see Depression? Depression more common with higher age but described even in infants. Bowlby‐depression in institutionalized](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ecb221c69e74e492a2ba3fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Important to address early. Depression untreated affects social, emotional, cognitive and interpersonal skills.
Any episode 7‐9 months is a long time in adolescent’s life.
High risk for nicotine & substance dependence, early teen pregnancy, physical illness.
As adults, higher suicide rates, more medical & psychiatric hospitalization, more impairment in work, family and social life.

Rather Than Ask “Which of My Patients Will Die By Suicide?”
Ask “ How Do I Decrease Suicide Potential For All My Patients?”

Suicide
Major public health concern.
Among the leading causes of death in the United States.
Four out of Five teens who attempt suicide have given clear warning signs.

Suicide
Suicide was the third leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 and 14, and the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 15 and 34.
Each day in our nation, there are an average of over 3,470 attempts by young people grades 9‐12. (2.4 each minute)
Suicide attempts often impulsive in nature

Scope of the Problem• Suicide affects many, many people– Suicide affects those at risk who do not die by suicide– Suicide affects survivors: loved ones and professionals

• Suicide prediction is poor (and likely will remain so)– Suicide is rare while risk factors are common• Suicide prevention remains inadequate– Suicide rates have increased over last 15 years‐ Weakness is present at every level ofidentification and care– But interventions are available to interveneto decrease rates

Scope of Suicide in 2014
• Number of individuals dying by suicide– 1,000,000+ individuals annually world‐wide– 42,773 individuals in USA– Comparison: 836,000 ER visits for self‐inflictedinjury– Comparison: 32,657 MVA deaths, 18,893painkiller overdose deaths, 14,294 murders

How Suicide Management Works
• Assess ALL your at‐risk patients to identify factors affecting suicide risk– Then modify identified risk and protective factors to decrease psychopathology, distress, and suicide potential in all patients• Rate level of suicide risk (low, moderate,severe, imminent

How Suicide Management Works cont’d– Based on risk level, provide the appropriate level of care and supervision to maintain safety in least restrictive environment• Anticipate and divert from suicidal crises– Conduct crisis analysis in at‐risk patients to help them, their families/friends….of potential future crisis

Resolving Suicide
• Prediction is poor!– You will not be able predict which of your patients will die by suicide or when they will do so– Presence of a psychiatric disorder or any other risk factor is not enough to identify which at‐risk patients will die by suicide– No structured interview, assessment tool, or laboratory test, nor any combination, can predict which patient will die by suicide– Although we can rate the level of risk (low, moderate, severe, imminent) we cannot predict when a person will die by suicide

Why is Suicide Prevention Poor• Research remains inadequate• Suicide‐related surveillance data remains inadequate• Public health measures remain inadequate• Many suicide decedents had not sought treatment• Among suicide victims who saw primary care clinician, many had not disclosed suicidal symptoms or plan• Among suicide victims who received psychiatric treatment, treatment received was often inadequate• Clinician suicide training is perceived as inadequate

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic‐depressive illness) is an illness of the brain that causes extreme cycles in:a person’s mood, energy level, thinking, and behavior.
![Page 75: EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN CHILDREN WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT … · When do we see Depression? Depression more common with higher age but described even in infants. Bowlby‐depression in institutionalized](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ecb221c69e74e492a2ba3fe/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
A person with bipolar disorder may have manic episodes, depressive episodes, or “mixed” episodes.
These mood episodes cause symptoms that last a week or two or sometimes longer.
During an episode, the symptoms last every day for most of the day.

Bipolar symptoms are so strong, they can make it hard for a child to do well in school or get along with friends and family members.
Illness can also be dangerous. Some young people with bipolar disorder try to hurt themselves or attempt suicide.

Bipolar In Young Children
• The diagnostic validity of bipolar disorder in young children has yet to be established.
• Caution must be taken before applying this diagnosis in preschool children
