  • WHAT Is Selective Mutism?
    WHAT is Selective Mutism? A GUIDE to Helping Parents, Educators and Treatment professionals Understand Selective Mutism as a Social Communication Anxiety Disorder Do you know a child who is mute, barely whispers to few others in school or other social settings, but is able to speak when comfortable such as at home? If so, this child may be suffering from Selective Mutism. “Copyright © [2013] Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Selective Mutism Anxiety Research and Treatment Center, Inc. (SMart Center) – www.selectivemutismcenter.org. 215-887-5748 [email protected] All rights reserved. Selective Mutism is a complex childhood anxiety disorder characterized by a child’s inability to speak and communicate in a socially appropriate manner in select social settings, such as school. These children are able to speak and communicate in settings where they are comfortable, secure and relaxed, such as at home. To meet the diagnostic criteria for Selective Mutism (SM) a child has to be able to speak in at least one setting and be mute in at least one other setting. The typical presentation is the ‘timid’ child who can speak and act socially appropriate with family members, close peers and very familiar relatives, yet is mute or barely whispers to a few others in school or perhaps when addressed in public settings such as restaurants or stores More than 90% of children with Selective Mutism also have social anxiety. This disorder is quite debilitating and painful to the child. Children and adolescents with Selective Mutism have an actual FEAR of speaking and of social interactions where there is an expectation to speak and communicate.

University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Julie Walsh-Messinger. Depersonalization and derealization symptoms affect sensation, perception, and emotion, producing subjective experiences of unreality and affective numbing (Simeon, 2004).

  • 1 Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Expert Panel
    Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Expert Panel Meetings Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) September 8 and November 12, 2014 Summary of Panel Discussions and Recommendations In September and November of 2014, SAMHSA/CBHSQ convened two expert panels to discuss several issues that are relevant to generating national and State estimates of childhood serious emotional disturbance (SED). Childhood SED is defined as the presence of a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder that resulted in functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits the child's role or functioning in family, school, or community activities (SAMHSA, 1993). The September and November 2014 panels brought together experts with critical knowledge around the history of this federal SED definition as well as clinical and measurement expertise in childhood mental disorders and their associated functional impairments. The goals for the two expert panel meetings were to operationalize the definition of SED for the production of national and state prevalence estimates (Expert Panel 1, September 8, 2014) and discuss instrumentation and measurement issues for estimating national and state prevalence of SED (Expert Panel 2, November 12, 2014). This document provides an overarching summary of these two expert panel discussions and conclusions. More comprehensive summaries of both individual meetings’ discussions and recommendations are found in the appendices to this summary. Appendix A includes a summary of the September meeting and Appendix B includes a summary of the November meeting). The appendices of this document also contain additional information about child, adolescent, and young adult psychiatric diagnostic interviews, functional impairment measures, and shorter mental health measurement tools that may be necessary to predict SED in statistical models.

  • Dissociative Experiences in Bipolar Disorder II: Are They Related to Childhood Trauma and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms?
    Original article Dissociative experiences in bipolar disorder II: Are they related to childhood trauma and obsessive-compulsive symptoms? GUL ERyılmaz1, SERMıN KESEBıR1, IşIl GöğceGöz Gül1, eylem özten1, KayIhan Oğuz KaramustafalIOğlu1 1 Uskudar University Neuropsychiatry Hospital, Psychiatry, Istanbul, Turkey. Received: 12/29/2014 – Accepted: 3/2/2015 DOI: 10.1590/0101-60830000000045 Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of dissociative symptoms and whether they are related to childhood trauma and obsessive- -compulsive symptoms in bipolar disorder type II (BD-II). Methods: Thirty-three euthymic patients (HDRS<8, YMRS<5) and 50 healthy subjects were eva- luated by SCID-I and SCID-NP. We excluded all first and second-axis comorbidities. All patients and healthy subjects were examined with the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-53), and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder scale (Y-BOCS). Results: In pairwise comparisons between the BD-II and control groups, the total CTQ, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, DES, and total Y-BOCS scores in the BD-II group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). There were five cases with DES scores over 30 (15.2%) and one case (2%) in the control group. DES was weakly correlated with total CTQ and Y-BOCS in patients diagnosed with BD-II (r = 0.278, p < 0.05 and r = 0.217, p < 0.05, respectively). While there was no correlation between total CTQ and Y-BOCS, the CTQ sexual abuse subscale was found to be related to Y-BOCS (r = 0.330, p < 0.05).

  • FF #145 Panic. 3Rd Ed
    ! FAST FACTS AND CONCEPTS #145 PANIC DISORDER AT THE END-OF-LIFE VJ Periyakoil MD Background Anxiety and fear occur commonly in the dying patient. However, disabling anxiety and/or panic is not a normal aspect of the dying process. Separating “normal” death-related anxiety from pathological panic is an important palliative care skill. Definitions • A panic attack is defined in the DSM-IV as “a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort, in which four (or more) of the following symptoms develop abruptly and reach a peak within 10 minutes: palpitations, pounding heart or accelerated heart rate, sweating, trembling or shaking, sensations of shortness of breath or smothering, feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal distress, feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded or faint, derealization or depersonalization, fear of losing control or going crazy, fear of dying. • Derealization describes a sensation of feeling estranged or detached from one’s environment. • Depersonalization is an altered and unreal perception of self, one’s feelings and/or situation. Described by one patient as “feeling like you are on the outside looking in”. Diagnosis • A combination of physical symptoms (feeling dizzy, weak, nauseous, unsteady, lightheaded, breathless) and affective symptoms (fear of loss of control) are used to diagnose a panic disorder. • Terminally ill patients may often have many of the physical symptoms listed above as a part of their illness process. Thus the presence of derealization, depersonalization and fear of loss of control are more useful in making the diagnosis of panic disorder in the terminally ill. • A contributing feature to the diagnosis of panic disorder is if a patient develops recurrent symptoms, worries about future ‘attacks’ and alters her/his behavior in anticipation of such attacks.
