Did you know that?
Some people have a hard time,
recognizing angry or sad
facial expressions.
A study done with 16 to 21
year old males with conduct disorder,
and those who didn't sound that,
the individuals of conduct disorder had reduced brain responds when
differentiating between neutral and angry faces.
And when looking at sad faces,
they showed an abnormal amygdala response.
But wait,
if I can recognize angry or sad,
emotion,
does that mean I have conduct disorder?
Not quite actually,
there's more to conduct disorder than just recognizing faces.
So,
let's take a look.
Let's follow our two friends.
Pablo who's 10 years old,
and Lucas.
He is 12 years old,
to learn more about conduct disorder.
In the DSM-5 conduct disorder is defined as a repetitive
and persistent pattern of behavior with a basic rights of
others,
or major age-appropriate societal Norms are violated for
someone to be diagnosed with conduct disorder.
You need to meet the following requirements.
Show at least three of the 15 criteria in the
past year and one of these criteria should be present
in the past 6 months there,
disturbance and behavior has to cause clinically significant impairment in
their social academic or occupational.
Functioning lastly,
if they are older than 18,
they cannot have met the criteria for antisocial personality disorder.
Criteria for conduct disorder fall into these four categories aggression,
to people or animals destruction of property,
deceitfulness or theft and serious violation of rules.
Let's look at Lucas.
She's been showing the following symptoms for the past 3
years. Lukas is entertained when he hurts his dog makes a
crime.
He finds it fun to provoke other kids and starts
fights for no reason.
And his parents have been receiving.
Many complaints from his teachers about his destructive and aggressive
behavior.
He often steal from other people and likes to destroy
the belongings of others causing other kids to be afraid
of him. Lucas has persistently and continuously shown at least three since
him for more than one year.
So he was diagnosed with conduct disorder.
Now,
let's take a look at Pablo.
He sometimes forgets to feed the cat,
even though his dad tells him to,
he recently sold $5 from his dad's wallet.
To buy ice cream,
but got schooled it and understood what he did was
wrong and has never done it since While Pablo sometimes
misbehaves,
his behaviors are not consistent with the criteria.
And so he was not diagnosed with conduct disorder depending
on the severity of a child symptoms.
We can reach the severity of conduct disorder in the
three categories,
mild intermediate and severe.
Furthermore individuals of conduct disorder can also fall under one
of these three sub-types childhood-onset where they show at least
one condos problem before.
10 years old at alessan on really have no kind
of problems before 10 years old or unspecified,
where the time of onset is unknown.
Lucas began showing symptoms when he was 9 years old.
What type of what type does he have?
I think Lucas has childhood-onset conduct disorder disorder
are more at risk to develop ADHD and anxiety disorders
later in their lives were as children with adolescent.
Onset conduct disorder are more at risk of ptsc and
alcohol and substance use disorders.
Okay,
I think I understand what kind of disorder is now
isn't common.
3% of school-age children have conduct disorder.
So what are some reasons that may have contributed to
Lucas having developed conduct disorder.
There are a multitude of factors and mechanisms that can
lead to the progression of chronic disorder.
Twin Cities,
I found that 50% of the variance in,
disorder is actually associated with environmental influences.
Let's look into these more.
Prenatal mechanisms are well studied in relationship to kind of
disorder these occur.
When a child is being carried by the maternal parents
and would include factors such as maternal,
smoking alcohol,
use drugs,
and stress during pregnancy.
There's some research that suggests that stress during pregnancy and
actually at 5 to development of the child,
prefrontal cortex.
This is a part of the brain involved in the
lot of decision-making.
There are few Perry Middle's Doctrine as well,
which are factors associated with the time immediately before,
or after birth.
These factors could include parental Psychopathology,
malnutrition exposure to heavy metals and birth complications
of found that malnutrition during pregnancy can lead to changes
in various neurotransmitter functions in the brain.
Neurotransmitters are essentially signaling molecules in your brain.
There are also a few other environmental factors to consider.
These will include harsh parenting parent to child complex,
low,
socioeconomic status and Community violence.
Phase of also found that 27% of children with chronic
disorder, have actually been decided by sustained childhood,
trauma and abuse.
Wait a second.
You mentioned something about brain structure in the beginning,
right?
Yes,
you're right studies on children with chronic disorder have also
found a few abnormalities in brain structure.
Majority of these brain regions are involved in Emotion regulation
and recognition empathy and reward promising,
research has found a lower activation of the dorsal and
rostral anterior.
Cingulate cortex are the ACC the medial prefrontal cortex
and the ventral striatum.
When comparing children with chronic disorder to those without these
region of the brain are involved in cognition attention,
control mood and learning.
Do you remember that study mentioned at the beginning of
this video? Well,
other size of also found abnormal and middle of functioning
was can be related to increases in aggression.
This is because the amygdala is responsible for processing fearful
and threatening stimuli and the environment other areas affected in
the brain are some involved and moral decision-making,
face processing and motor functions.
Oh,
okay.
That makes more sense.
Now, what disorder is way more complex than excellent.
Is there anything?
A parent can do to help their child experiencing conduct
disorder for sure?
And tell the management and treatment.
There are few options to pay on a subtype account.
Starter.
For example,
early intervention can include treatments focusing on the quality of
parenting and behavioral parent training.
Where is cognitive behavioral therapy can be later in adolescence
also prescribed medication to help alleviate some but not all
symptoms.
Over Satan in the channel.
As there will be more videos if I was in
the future and be sure to check the description box
for more resources in the meantime.
So, let's take a look back at our two friends.
So,
Pablo does this behave and his parents might complain that
he's a naughty child.
He knows where his actions goes wrong and understands now,
she's using again.
However,
if you remember Lucas,
he doesn't necessarily think the same his mother often tell
them those actions has severe consequences,
but he continues to do them again.
And again,
simply play Carnage daughter is more complex than just misbehaving.
We hope you've been able to understand more about Lucas.
And while he was diagnosed as Carter's order and Y,
Pablo was not
