Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric diagnoses and factors associated with psychiatric diagnoses of children and adolescents who are victims of sexual abuse. Method: The files of 92 children and adolescents aged between 0-18 who were referred to University Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Forensic Policlinic between January 2017 and December 2019 due to sexual abuse were evaluated retrospectively. Psychiatric diagnoses of the cases were made according to DSM 5 diagnostic criteria. Intellectual capacity of the cases was evaluated according to the latest verison of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Results: In our study, 78 (84.8%) cases were female and 14 (15.2%) were male. Mean age of the cases was 14.1±3.88 years. The most common type of sexual abuse was touching (52.2%, n=48). There was a psychiatric diagnose in 50 (54.3%) of them. The most common psychiatric diagnoses were posttraumatic stress disorder (n=29, 31.5%) and major depressive disorder (n=25, 27.2%). The rate of psychiatric diagnosis was significantly higher in cases exposed to coercion and violence (p=0.032). In 32 cases (34.8%), it was determined that the abuser was within the family. Conclusion: Sexual abuse has an effect on child’s development throughout life.In our study, the rate of psychiatric diagnosis was high. It is very important to provide the necessary psychiatric support to the victims of sexual abuse. With the studies to be done in this area, awareness can be increased and necessary precautions can be taken.

Formed Part

There has been a child psychiatry research group within the Institute of Psychiatry since 1952. At first it constituted a section of the Department of Psychiatry and for a while it formed part of the MRC Social Psychiatry Research Unit. However, in 1973 London University established a Chair of Child Psychiatry and since that time there has been a separate Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The research in this field undertaken up to 1967 has been described previously (Rutter, 1968a) and the present report brings the account up to date with a summary of work carried out during the last eight years.

AimsTo assess the profile of Sleep pattern, Psychiatric comorbidity and problematic electronic gadget use and explore demographic factors and correlations in children and adolescents with ADHD and Autism.Hypothesis: There are statistically significant problems and associations across sleep pattern, psychiatric comorbidity and gadget use in children and adolescents with autism and ADHD.BackgroundLiterature highlights increasing global trends and emerging concerns over the problematic use of electronic gadgets and sleep related problems in children and adolescents with autism and ADHD. There is sparse literature on the profile of sleep patterns, psychiatry comorbidity and problematic gadget use in children and adolescents with autism and ADHD from developing countries.MethodThis was an observational study conducted at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic, Department of Psychiatry at a tertiary care Institution under the STS ICMR Project 2019 with Institutional Ethics Clearance. Apriori Sample size calculated was 70. Children and adolescents diagnosed with autism or ADHD as per ICD 10 criteria, fulfilling the inclusion criteria and willing to participate in the study were included. Informed consent was obtained from caregivers. Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children, Self Designed Parent based Problematic Electronic Gadget Use Scale, Vanderbilt ADHD scale, Indian scale for Assessment of Autism and the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic structured Performa were the tools for data collection. The results were analyzed with descriptive tests, chi square test and multiple logistic regressions using SPSS.ResultMean age of the sample was 9.1 years and majority (57%) were boys. Forty nine patients had ADHD and 21 patients had Autism. Problematic gadget use was higher in children ranging from 6 to 15 years of age and 12.8% had severe levels of problematic gadget use. 34.3% patients experienced severe problems in initiating and maintaining sleep. Oppositional-Defiant disorder was the most common comorbidity, predominantly inattentive type (76.4%) was the most common subtype of ADHD and mild autism (54.3%) was the most common type of autism in the sample. There were statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) between age and gadget use; hyperactive subtype of ADHD and problems with initiating and maintaining sleep and ADHD subtype, sex profile and problematic gadget use.ConclusionWe conclude that sleep problems, psychiatric comorbidity and problematic gadget use are prevalent with statistically significant associations in children and adolescents with autism and ADHD as per our study findings. Our study has relevant clinical, research and policy implications.

Medical Specialists

Since 1994, child and adolescent psychiatry has been a distinct specialty, separate from psychiatry, within the Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS). It has a slightly curious title, of which more later. It has proved a successful arena for promoting training, and this in turn has led to a developing European view of what exactly child and adolescent psychiatry is, and how it can be practised. This article tries to reflect this.

Areas Of Concern

Although the use of psychotropic medications in child and adolescent psychiatry in Germany is on the increase, most compounds are in fact prescribed “off-label” because of a lack of regulatory approval in these age groups. In 2007, the European Parliament introduced Regulation 1901/2006 concerning medicinal products in pediatric populations, with a subsequent amendment in the form of Regulation 1902/2006. The main aim of this legislation was to encourage research and clinical trials in children and adolescents, and thus promote the availability of medications with marketing authorization for these age groups. Furthermore, initiatives such as the European 7th Framework Program of the European Union now offer substantial funding for pediatric pharmacological research. At a recent Congress of the German Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (DGKJP), experts from the field and the pharmaceutical industry held a symposium with lay representatives in order to discuss attitudes toward, and experience with, pediatric psychopharmacology research in Germany since 2007. Several areas of concern were identified. The present paper derives from that symposium and provides an overview of these opinions, which remain crucial to the field. A wider discussion of how to facilitate psychopharmacological research in Germany in order to optimize the treatment and welfare of children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders is now warranted.
