+What is a Mood Disorder?

Is a category of mental health problems

May also be called affective disorders

Mood disorders in children are recognized as one of the most under diagnosed psychiatric illnesses

Clinically there are only five mood disorders Depression Dysthymia Bipolar Mood disorder due to a medical condition Mood disorder due to substance abuse

Out of 100,000 adolescents, two to three thousand will have mood disorders out of which 8-10 will commit suicide.

Major Depression

A two week period of a depressed or irritable mood or a noticeable decrease interest or pleasure in usual activities along with other signs of a mood disorder

As many as one in every 33 children and one in eight adolescents may have depression. (U.S. Center for Mental Health Services [CMHS], 1996).

Dysthymic Disorder (Dysthymia)

A chronic, low-grade, depressed or irritable mood for at least one year

Page 5: + MOOD DISORDERS Darcie Collins Ashley Kasprzyk Megan Leveranz Stephie Solheid.

Bipolar disorderAt least one episode of a depressed or irritable mood and at least one period of a manic (persistently elevated) mood.

Almost one-third of six- to twelve-year-old children diagnosed with major depression will develop bipolar disorder within a few years. (AACAP, 1995)

+ Mood Disorder due to Medical Condition

Many medical illnesses (including cancer, injuries, infections, and chronic medical illnesses) can trigger symptoms of depression

Page 7: + MOOD DISORDERS Darcie Collins Ashley Kasprzyk Megan Leveranz Stephie Solheid.

+ Substance Induced Mood Disorder

Symptoms of depression that are due to the effects of medication, drug abuse, exposure to toxins or other forms of treatment

Page 8: + MOOD DISORDERS Darcie Collins Ashley Kasprzyk Megan Leveranz Stephie Solheid.

+Scope of the problemMain scope of focus is that children can develop mood disorders from heredity and environmental factors.

Page 9: + MOOD DISORDERS Darcie Collins Ashley Kasprzyk Megan Leveranz Stephie Solheid.

+Heredity

Chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters regulate the brain chemicals that affect your mood

When these are altered or are in an imbalance they can cause mood swings which can lead to mood disorders

Page 10: + MOOD DISORDERS Darcie Collins Ashley Kasprzyk Megan Leveranz Stephie Solheid.

+Environmental

Any types of abuse, neglect, and/or maltreatment

Traumatic life changes Death Major illness

+Treatment of Illness

Your child/adolescents age, overall health, and medical history

The extent of your child/adolescent’s symptoms

Type of mood disorder

Child/adolescent’s tolerance of specific medications, procedures or therapies

Expectations for the course of the mood disorder

Your opinion of preference

Specific treatment should be determined by the child’s physician or qualified mental health professional based on:

Mood disorders can be effectively treated. Treatment should always be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the adolescent and family. Treatment recommendations may include individual therapy for the adolescent, family therapy, and sometimes consultation with the adolescent’s school. Some adolescents may also benefit from treatment with an antidepressant medication and/or mood stabilizers. Parents play a vital supportive role in any treatment process.

+Prevention of mood disorders

Preventive measures to reduce the incidence of mood disorders in adolescents are not known at this time

Early detection and intervention can reduce the severity of symptoms, enhance the child/adolescent's normal growth and development and improve the quality of life experienced by children/adolescents with mood disorders

+Role of the professional

Recognition Recognizing the symptoms and being able to tell if the child is suffering from a

mood disorder(s), also routine screening for psychological disorders in youth by nurses at both inpatient and outpatient settings would allow for more accurate hypotheses about what is causing a child’s presenting problem.

Assessment Typical areas of assessment include current symptoms and symptom

development, developmental history, family history of psychological previous term disorders, next term and current and previous levels of psychosocial functioning, as reported by the previous term child, next term parents, and other caretaking adults (e.g., teachers). In general, there are two types of instruments that can aid one in making a diagnosis: diagnostic interviews and self-report or other-report scales. Diagnostic interviews can be divided into structured and semi structured formats. Another commonly used diagnostic interview is the semistructured Kiddie Schedule of affective disorders. Self-report and other report scales can also be used as diagnostic interview tools.

Intervention Weekly checkups with a professional, possible medication, multidisciplinary

team with specialized knowledge and experience, traditional or non-traditional medications

Referral Counseling, support groups

+What would you do?

Education Contact a social worker

Social Work Assessment, intervention, possible treatment options, work

with the interdisciplinary team

Nursing Assessment, referral to doctor, work with the

interdisciplinary team

Quick FactsAccording to several studies, a significant proportion of the approximately 3.4 million children and adolescents with depression in the United States may actually be experiencing the early onset of bipolar disorder, but have not yet experienced the manic phase of the illness.

7-14% of children will experience an episode of major depression before the age of 15

20-30% of adult bipolar patients report having their first episode before the age of 20

Recent studies have shown that greater than 20% of adolescents in the general population have emotional problems and one-third of adolescents attending psychiatry clinics suffer from depression. (The Canadian Journal of CME)

Recent studies show that, at any given time, as many as one in every 33 children may have clinical depression. The rate of depression among adolescents may be as high as one in eight. (Department of Health and Human Services)
