A Clinician’s Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

This authoritative clinical handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the main disor-
ders encountered by child and adolescent psychiatrists in clinical practice, ranging from eating,
sleep and affective disorders to substance abuse, gender identity disorder and sexual abuse. The
approach is evidence based and emphasis is on good clinical practice and quality control of patient
care. In contrast to other books in the field, the authors’ intention is not to cover exhaustively
all the relevant science, but rather to present in condensed form any research findings that are
significant for clinical practice.
For coherence, each chapter is constructed in the same way: introduction, definition and
classification, epidemiology, the clinical picture, aetiology, treatment and outcome. The disorders
covered are based on the ICD-10 and DSM-IV classifications, and appendices include documents
for assessment of intervention planning and evaluation.

Christopher Gillberg is Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Göteborg University,


Sweden.

Richard Harrington was Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of
Manchester.

Hans-Christoph Steinhausen is Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University


of Zurich.

Preface

Child and adolescent psychiatry is a rapidly expanding branch of medicine. Import-


ant research gains have been made in the past decades, and there is now a firm
knowledge basis for many of the psychiatric disorders with child or adolescent
onset. This knowledge has taken some time to filter through to clinical child and
adolescent psychiatric services.
The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant
objectives of child and adolescent psychiatry in clinical practice. The approach is
decisively evidence based as far as this is possible with the current status in the
field and thus avoids the consideration of various theoretical or even speculative
approaches. Rather, the emphasis is on guidance for good clinical practice and help
with the quality control of patient care. The various chapters have been written by
experts in the respective fields. In contrast to other textbooks, the major objective
is not to cover all relevant research findings exhaustively but rather to condense
the scientific knowledge that is significant for clinical practice. Thus, the present
deskbook deals with clinical disorders only.
The list and order of contents is guided by the ICD-10 and the various chapters
also comment on the DSM-IV classification. A clear common structure for the
chapters enforces the coherence of the monograph. After an introduction, defini-
tion and classification, epidemiology, the clinical picture, aetiology, treatment and
outcome are specifically outlined for each disorder. Tables, figures and flowcharts,
serve as additional sources of information and highlight special messages. Various
appendices include important documents for assessment of intervention planning
and evaluation.
The book is intended for child and adolescent psychiatrists, and for other special-
ists working in, or at the borders of, child mental health, including community and
developmental pediatricians, school health doctors, child neurologists and adult
and forensic psychiatrists. The language and writing style are such that it should
also be a valuable source of clinical guidance for psychologists, social workers,
nurses and other paramedical professionals working in the field.

viii Preface

The authorship is international with a strong European and North American


orientation. The editors are grateful for the willingness and effectiveness of the
authors to adopt the special structure and the intended message of this textbook
and to bring in their expertise in order to provide an accurate and comprehensive
account of the current state of knowledge of the various child and adolescent
psychiatric disorders. Special thanks are also due to the publisher, most notably to
Pauline Graham, Jo Bottrill and Mary Sanders for the assistance in producing this
book.
Sadly, Richard Harrington died shortly before finalization of the manuscript of
this book. His death is a great loss to his family, his colleagues and his friends.
Besides his outstanding scientific contributions to child and adolescent psychiatry,
he was a most skilful and experienced clinician and a genuine and warmhearted
personality. This book will serve as a commemoration to Richard Harrington.

Introduction
All mental functioning, be it normal or abnormal, is mediated by the brain. Thus,
no child and adolescent psychiatric disorder can be thought of as not being brain
related. However, there is a separate category of disorders in which the structure of
the brain itself is disordered or in which the basic neurological functions are altered
so that normal mental functioning may not result. This is most obvious in those
disorders that result from morphological alterations of the brain structure due to
a noxious agent or event, or due to a neurobiological deficit that seriously affects
the organization and development of the brain.
Classification of brain disorder in childhood and adolescence is not very satisfac-
tory. The major classes of brain disorders as set out in the ICD-10 are derived mainly
from manifestations of disorders in adulthood with insufficient consideration of
developmental aspects in childhood and adolescence. Thus, in contrast to most of
the remaining chapter in this volume both ICD-10 and DSM-IV are not considered
as the relevant framework for classification of brain disorders in childhood and
adolescence.
In this chapter the following major brain disorders with a basic neurological
alteration of brain structures and functions will be described: injury, infectious
disorder, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and brain tumours. In an additional section the
concept of minor brain dysfunction syndromes will be discussed. This concept
has been very influential in the past and has largely been ignored in the more
recent academic debate in child and adolescent psychiatry. Given its remaining
relevance in practical child and adolescent psychiatry, an attempt will be made
to identify those elements in the concept that reflect the notion fruitfully and
validly that there is a continuum of brain-related symptoms between neurologically

defined structural brain disorders, and the concept of minor brain dysfunction
syndromes.
Given the similarities of psychopathological features and mechanisms in the
various brain disorders, some repetition cannot be avoided in the present chapter.
However, it was decided to have relatively complete descriptions of the various
phenomena and issues of each brain disorder so that the busy clinician will get
sufficient information from each section of this chapter.

Brain injury

Definition and classification


Traumatic head and brain injury results from an extended force that insults the brain
and leads to a transient or persistent impairment of physical, cognitive, behavioural
or emotional functions. It may be divided into open and closed head injuries. Open
head injury is defined by penetration of the brain, e.g. a depressed skull fracture
with underlying cerebral laceration. Usually localized brain damage is involved.
Closed head injury is more common, secondary to traffic accidents or to a fall. The
resulting damage may be marked by contusions, intracranical hematomes, intra-
ventricular, subarachnoid, subdural and epidermal hemorrhages and contrecoup
injuries opposite to the initial impact. Furthermore, diffuse damage of the brain
may be a sequel.
A common classification of the severity in the acute stage distinguishes mild,
moderate and severe brain injury. The differentiation usually is based on the extent
or duration of coma and the posttraumatic amnestic period. Derived from adult
traumatology, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) has also been used most frequently
in the population of children and adolescents. The GCS measures eye opening,
verbal response and hand or leg movement by rating each response on a scale of 1
to 5 and aggregating all three items. Higher scores represent better responsiveness
and prognosis.
According to the GCS mild brain injury is defined by a score of 13 or more,
posttraumatic amnesia of less than 12 hours or a loss of consciousness for 5 min-
utes or less. Moderate brain injury is defined by a GCS score of 9 to 12, a post-
traumatic amnestic period of 12 to 24 hours, or a loss of consciousness between 5 and
60 minutes (or even more in some studies). Finally, severe brain injury is associ-
ated with a GCS score of less than 9, or post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than
24 hours. However, the GCS has been criticized for being often too crude a meas-
ure for children. Comparisons of the research literature are hampered by different
definitions of the depth and length of coma as a measure of severity. Several studies
in children converge in using the above-mentioned GCS total scores as an indicator
3 Brain disorders

of the depth of coma and extending the length of post-traumatic amnesia to 7–14
days in order to define severe brain injury.

Epidemiology

Incidence and prevalence rates


Traumatic brain injury is a very frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in
childhood and adolescence. Estimated incidence rates range from 185 per 100 000
children from infancy to age 14 per annum to 295 per 100 000 adolescents and
young adults aged 15 to 24 per annum in the United States. With a rate of 550
per 100 000 and per annum, the risk is highest among the 15–19 year olds. Figures
around 45 000 children under 16 years with the number of deaths per annum being
around 300 have been established in the United Kingdom. British figures document
that 10% of children admitted to accident and emergency departments will have a
moderate brain injury, and 1 per cent will have a severe injury. As many as 2.5 per
cent of children may have sustained a head injury leading to admittance to accident
and emergency departments during childhood.

Sex ratios
In terms of prevalence of brain injury, boys outnumber girls 2:1 with a lower rate
in young children up to 5 years of age. The gender discrepancy emerges in infancy
and is most prominent during school age and adolescence.

Implications for clinical practice


Head and brain injury is a leading cause of mortality and disability in young people
and one of the most common causes of chronic brain syndromes in children. In some
cases the injury results in transient or even permanent physical and/or cognitive
and/or behavioural and emotional deficits. Highly sophisticated professional skills,
including expert knowledge in psychopathology, are needed in order to assist the
children who are victims of head and brain injury.

Clinical picture

Main features and symptoms


The symptoms due to brain injury vary considerably depending on cause, severity
and type of head injury (open vs. closed), additional pre-morbid functioning and
age of the child, post-traumatic coping and quality of the psychosocial environment.
The various symptoms may be grouped on three functional levels as shown in
Table 1.1.
On the neuropsychiatric level the clinical picture differs according to the phase
of the disorder.

5 Brain disorders

r In the acute phase varying degrees of depth of coma dependent on the severity
of the trauma are noticeable with a loss of consciousness even missing in some
children. Mild head injury typically is associated only with transient symptoms
of dizziness, headaches, confusion and fatigue with no loss of consciousness
or a loss of consciousness not exceeding 20 minutes. A diagnosis of delirium
may be stated when agitation, loss of orientation and short attention span are
evident.
r There may be a transient phase of relatively short-lived psychopathological fea-
tures due to a post-traumatic impairment of mental functioning including mem-
ory, impulse, affects and thought. Minor transient psychopathological syndromes
include slowing of impulse, loss of initiative, forgetfulness, emotional lability
and irritability. Moderate to severe transient psychopathological syndromes may
include prolonged amnesia and even psychotic symptoms, like formal thought
disorder, hallucinations and paranoid symptoms.
r In the chronic phase various specific impairments may become evident. In some
children localized deficits leading to the syndromes of agnosia, apraxia and apha-
sia may result from the injury. A persistent intellectual impairment may justify
a diagnosis of childhood dementia and a persistent behavioural pattern resem-
bling a frontal lobe syndrome in adults may be emerging. This syndrome of
social disinhibition is marked by a lack of impulse control, hyperactivity and
attention deficits and may be accompanied by forgetfulness, talkativeness and
carelessness. Owing to the persistent change in the child’s behavioural features, a
post-traumatic personality change may become noticeable.
Even more common in the chronic phase are symptoms of general psy-
chopathology. With the well-established increased risk of any child psychiatric
disorder in brain disorder, there may be an interaction between neurological and
behavioural factors in addition to separate paths for the two factors contribut-
ing to specific psychopathologies. These interactions may result in oppositional
defiant and conduct disorders, anxiety disorders or affective disorders or rather
than creating symptoms de novo may amplify a pre-existing hyperkinetic disor-
der. Among the adjustment disorders the possibility of some symptoms or, less
common, the full picture of post-traumatic stress disorder should be considered.
In addition to the various neuropsychiatric features, there is a wide range of
symptoms on the neurologic level.
r Various post-traumatic headaches resemble other chronic headaches like
migraine and tension headaches, cluster, cervicogenic and myofacial pain head-
aches. In association with dizziness, nausea or vomiting, other problems of the
trauma like hematomas, arterial dissection or aneurysm have to be ruled out.
r A sizeable proportion of patients with head injury experience sleep disturbances.
The most frequent early symptom after head injury is hypersomnolence. It is
6 H.-C. Steinhausen and C. Gillberg

assumed that hypersomnolence results from damage of the reticular formation


or the posterior hypothalamus. Insomnia is less common after brain trauma.
r Post-traumatic seizures at the time of the impact do not increase the risk of
epilepsy necessarily. However, this is the case for seizures occurring later in recov-
ery. In contrast to adults, children are more prone to develop early seizures and
status epilepticus.
r Another potential complication of head injury is hydrocephalus, especially when
there is subarachnoial or intraventicular hemorrhage. Hydrocephalus occurs only
rarely when there is massive hemorrhage. The typical manifestation is months
later.
r Only in the most severe head trauma does spasticity occur. Resulting from an
impairment of corticospinal pathways, fine and gross motor co-ordination and
dexterity are affected. Spasticity is marked by an increased tone associated with
hyperreflexia.
r Appearing only months to years following the injury movement disorders are a
relatively rare complication. Most frequently, the symptoms are due to damage of
the basal ganglia or the nigrostriatal pathways leading, for instance, to dystonia
of a hemiplegic limb or choreoathetosis. Tremor may follow even mild traumatic
brain injury.
r Severe brain trauma may result in rare cases in the apallic syndrome character-
ized by a functional disconnection of the cortex and the brainstem. The main
symptom is the so-called coma vigile with the patient having a markedly reduced
consciousness without content and activities while being awake and reduced to a
few basal autonomous functions.
Also, the endocrine system may be affected by traumatic head injury in various
ways.
r The involvement of the posterior pituitary may lead either to excessive retention
of free water or to diabetes insipidus with inappropriate or insufficient secretion
of antidiuretic hormones.
r Damage to the anterior pituitary may result in dysfunction of various target
organs. Thus, short stature may result from deficiencies in growth hormone,
hypothyroidism from a deficit of thyroid-stimulating hormone, hypogonadism
from deficiencies in follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone, and hypo-
adrenalism from adrenocorticotropic hormone deficits.
r Excessive appetite and also anorexia may be the consequence of post-traumatic
hypothalamic dysfunction, and precocious puberty may result from dysfunction
of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis.
Further sequelae of head and brain injury are evident on the neurocognitive level.
r Depending on the severity of damage, there is a varying degree of impaired
intellectual functions, with a decrement between performance and verbal scale
